Mini-speed session on treadmill. 1.5 mile warmup, .75/.50/.25 mile intervals at 6:00-6:20 pace, with .25 rests in between.

Reduced mileage week. Still trying to get over lingering high-hamstring problem in left leg.

Treadmill speed workout. 1.5 miles warmup, then 1m, .75m, .5m, 3 x .25m intervals @ between 5:55 & 6:22 min/mi. pace. Still doing .25m rests in between intervals, mostly walking on longer intervals and slow running on shorter intervals.

This workout is getting a little easier but is still tough to get motivated about. I sure wish weather was nicer so I could run outside. Hopefully this workout will help me get my 5K times down a bit and make a 6:25-6:35 pace feel easier.

Hamstring feeling a little better today.

Tempo run on treadmill. 1 mile warmup then 5 miles @ 7:15-7:30 pace. I had a hard time making it to 5 miles today, getting real bored on the treadmill. I look forward to doing this workout outside for comparison.
