Slow miles	Fast miles	Total Distance
7.70	3.50	11.20

35F. Set out to do 8 x 800m @ 10k, 200m active recoveries. For 10k pace, I targeted 2:58-3:00. Ended up doing 7 of the reps, averaging 2:58.6, (2:57, 3:00, 2:58, 2:57, 2:58, 3:00, 2:59) so right in the sweet spot. Wasn't feeling too great; I could have emptied the tank and done #8, but that's not the point...the effort was good today. The days of being on my A-game for every workout are probably over for the next 8 weeks...time to suffer a bit more!

Nice work Joe. Rumors of your demise were greatly exaggerated.

Good workout, Joe. If you are feeling too fresh you probably aren't running hard enough. Plus you get a boost when you hit it. Good stuff.

Great workout--good speed with such short recoveries, sometimes you don't need to do the last rep. I'm sorta in the same boat, I'm getting the workouts done but having to keep it real, no superhero workouts.

Way to land right where you wanted to Joe. Looks great!
