11 miles, first 2 easy then 6 x 1.25 mile loop same as last Friday, going hard on the 1K uphill section each loop. Ks were 4:04, 3:57, 3:56, 3:53, 3:53, 3:52. Pleased to not slow down at all thru the set. Recoveries were easy the remainder of each lap. Good effort in humid conditions.

11 miles, first 1.5 easy then 4 x 1200m on track in 4:36, 4:34, 4:32, 4:32 (w/ 400m jog recoveries) and then 5.5 miles cool-down. Didn't feel good and bagged the workout, which was to have also included 3 x 1600m after the 1200s. I just felt slow and it was an off day.

11 miles, first 1.5 easy then 4 x 1200m/3 x 1600m on track going 4:31, 4:30, 4:28, 4:29, 6:06, 6:06, 6:03 (w/ 400m recoveries after the 1200s and 500m after 1600s). Felt good, this is the workout I cut short last Thursday so I was glad to get it in today. Not really impressive but I feel this indicates I'm in decent shape and perhaps ~38:00 or so for 10K will be a reasonable goal for fall.
