69F, 92%.  A little steamier than predicted, but I drove up to the track in Longview for 4 x 2400m @ HMP, 400m active recoveries.  Same field they had the HS graduation on last night, and for repeats 1 and 4 there was a tractor and trailer (cleanup crew) covering the first 4 lanes so I got a little bonus mileage on those, running wide on one of the straightaways.  Average repeat was 9:27 (about 6:20 pace, which is very close to HMP).  Individual reps were 9:29, 9:34, 9:29, 9:17.

Pretty good given the humidity, and direct sun for a lot of it. This is probably the first workout I'll be moving to the treadmill when it gets hotter.  Legs just lose all their oomph...

Very solid workout! Nice last rep.

At what temp do you move your workouts to the treadmill?

Thanks ACorn - I think when it gets to around 75 in the mornings with the dew point over 70 - that's about the point I struggle with tempo runs. Might still be able to do the shorter, faster reps though.

You've really jumped right into this speed work. Good job!

Nice. 4 x 2400 just sounds so much longer than 4 x 1.5. Good job on the workout and how you presented it.

You are looking great, good workouts and a lot of quality miles this week.
