Slow miles	Fast miles	Total Distance
10.00	2.00	12.00

29F, NNE 15-22 mph. 7:30 AP. The plan was to do 8 x 0.5 mile @ 10k, 60 sec recoveries. I could tell again on the warmup it was going to be bad. I almost didn't attempt the workout but after the turnaround decided to give it a try and made it through half of it. 6-minute pace was a sprint today; complete opposite from Sunday, when I would almost find myself accidentally running that pace at times. Weird, bc I should've been ready to go for this one. Just can't seem to get going on this training cycle.

Still hit your paces, still a good workout, even if it wasn't an effortless kind of day. win some, lose some, you are in fantastic shape, no doubt

I feel the same way on the training cycle.

Think about it this way: at the beginning of a race, speed feels good and (sometimes) easy. At the end, the same pace feels like agony. You are training your body and mind to be able to run that pace when it feels easy AND when it feels terrible. I say this was still a good workout.
