I was thinking of your 2 x 5k workout the other day. How "active" was the active recovery? Did you drink in between? I'm trying to think about the condition I would be on a lap between 2 sub-20 5k's, and it ain't pretty. Just curious.

Tom - after the first 5k I felt pretty good, still had a little spring in my step; the recovery was continuous running, around 2:05 for 1 lap. It was after the second 5k that I just wanted to lay in the grass for awhile. I think my actual HM pace was more represented by the first 5k, and that's on a good day.

Proverbs 29:11

A fool uttereth all his mind: but a wise man keepeth it in till afterwards.

Man, that's a lot of circles. I think I could tolerate a run like that if it were on a road. And 2:05 was much faster than I expected. Thanks for the explanation. Oh, and today's run is great, too.
