Speed, treadmill, 1% incline.

6 x 800s at 6:22min/miles (9.4mph) with 400 jog recoveries at about 9:30-10 min miles. 

 Wowzas, this felt hard. I cant believe I did 10 of these last cycle (albeit at 6:27pace). Though its possible that I was walking my recoveries back then... jogging/running increases the difficulty a lot.

 Im pleased with how the training is going so far. Excited to have another crack at the tempo tomorrow. Partially because its not going to hurt as much as this workout, but also the weather is great in NYC right now, and its a good opportunity to get in some nice morning miles.

Jogging the recovery makes the workout harder for sure... but you're going to find that when in races, you'll be able to hold those paces a lot better by doing it this way. Nice job.
