Did my final 400 repeat workout before my 5K race on the 11th. Today I did 8 repeats and felt pretty good. Also was pleased to see my ave split time today was the fastest of any of these type workouts I've done over the last 8 weeks. I might have had a bit of a tailwind on some of these.

Today's splits were 1:33, 1:34, 1:33, 1:31, 1:34, 1:34, 1:32, 1:30

Just to compare to the previous weeks when I did 7, 6, and 5 repeats.....

2 weeks ago: 1:36, 1:36, 1:36, 1:36, 1:36, 1:36, 1:34

4 weeks ago: 1:38, 1:37, 1:36, 1:36, 1:35, 1:33

6 weeks ago: 1:40, 1:40, 1:37, 1:37, 1:37

Always fun to see improvement over time!
