- track
-- warm up (incl. strides x 3)
-- 4 x [3 min @ 95% 5k, 1 min jog, 2 min @ 5k, 1 min jog, 1 min @ 102% 5k, 3 min jog]
-- cool down
chilly (-6/22) but not windy. mangled the first rep by accidentally pushing the lap button. so it was more like 1 min @ 95% 5k right into 3 min @ 5k. moron. after that all good, paces were around what they should have been, or a second or two quick. had a hard time keeping pace consistent but averages worked out. had the track to myself so did the third and fourth sets clockwise (opposite normal). RPE 6.5.
Muscles are nonsensical they have nothing to do with this bullshit.

- run 1:15:19, 13.67 km
deliberately slowed down just a bit. a few little tweaks along the way, i'll do tomorrow's long run as planned but it's good that the upcoming week is a deload. RPE 3.

took the hillier and more technical trail toward the beginning, which slowed down overall average pace quite a bit. 443m/1453' of elevation gain, or a bit over 100'/mile. RPE 5. as these get longer and faster, i need to start taking some fuel with me. even at this distance it wouldn't hurt, although i don't need it.

84+ km for the week, nice. down week this coming week, then will be pushing past 90 and then 100 over the following two weeks. let's go.
