AM: WORKOUT: MILE REPS & 600m REPS

We had a good turnout this morning with Dave, Moss, Ben, Bryant, and I all working out, and Jared ran the warm-up with us. The workout this morning was three sets of 1 mile at half pace, 90 rest, 1 mile at 10k pace and three minutes in between sets. So 6xmile and then 5 minutes rest followed by 6x600m with 60 rest.

Splits: 4:55, 4:53, 4:55, 4:55, 4:56, 4:53 for a 4:55.1 avg (the splits are same pace but the effort on even reps was more as it was into wind)

1:46, 1:45, 1:47, 1:46, 1:47, 1:44 for a 1:46.3 avg or 4:48/mile pace.

PM: 6.25 miles easy, avg pace 7:06/mile.

AM: 8 mile shuffle in the freezing rain with Ben, Dave, and Matt, avg pace 8:39/ mile...Yes you read that right 8:39!

PM: 4 miles on treadmill, still sluggish and slow from yesterday's workout, avg pace 7:52/mile. I broke in a new pair of flats. They felt fine for four slow miles. I'll need to test them​ at faster paces and see if I want to wear them at my race in April.

PROGRESSIVE, STEADY-STATE LONG RUN

I met Ben, Bryant, Dave, and Jake at the 21st Street Pond at 6:30. It was supposed to be cold, wet, and windy. But it didn't really rain much and the temps stayed in the mid-40s. The wind was bad only when heading West, so all in all it wasn't too bad on the weather front. We warmed up 5 miles and then did 13 steady state miles, avg pace 6:29/mile.
