Speed at the oval today after the warmup stuff. We did 8 laps warmup, 4 laps speed changes, then changed shoes. My lower calves were hurting even before we started. We did 5x1000s. The first one felt much easier than I expected, from what I remembered. But then it got harder. The third one was where it went downhill. My calves were killing by the end so I stopped to change shoe unlike everyone else. My times were 3:36, 3:34, 3:42?, 3:52, 3:54. I think by the end I just was struggling mentally to finish the workout, especially on the last one, but with about 200 left Jakob was in front of me so I told myself to catch him. My time would have been a lot slower if I hadn't but now I know what I need to work on.
