29 August
Tempo run
3K slow warmup ( high 7s pace )
1500m @ 5:24 pace
1500m @ 5:35 pace
1000m @ 5:10 pace
2K ultra slow cool down (high 9s pace)
Intuitively expected tempo pace to land around 5:30. It did, it was just the pace that felt like tempo, not fast-easy, not all-out.
Used a shorter distance for the 3rd sprint to see if (how much) i can pick up the pace, that 5:10 was a nice surprise.
Still demotivating that this was so tiring, while in my top form i was doing 4x1500 @ 4:30. Oh well, gotta be patient, it will come along.
