8 miles, first 2 easy then 6400m on UGA track in 25:45 and 2 miles cool-down. Ran the first 3200 sort of between MP and threshold pace (6:33 + 6:27) then gradually sped up over the next 1800 to hit 4800 in 19:13 (6:13) and 5,000m in 19:58 and continued to 6400m at roughly the pace I'd run the first 3200m. As I'm still not at full strength following the virus I've had I'm relatively pleased with how this went.
