comfortably hard

Thurs, 12/7/17-Did 9x150, my first set in five months.  I went to Pingry for the workout, arriving there at 6:25AM, a little later than usual.  I began warming up inside the gym/field house at 6:30 AM and took to the track at about 6:50 AM.  (8 min mile, 8 min stretch, 2 min spike up). The goal was 3 in 23, 3 in 22, and 3 in 21, with a 2:30 break of walking and jogging between each (no additional time between sets).

Set 1: 24-low, 23-mid, 23-low
Set 2: 22-mid, 22-low, 22-mid
Set 3: 21-mid, 21-mid, 20-low

Wed, 12/6/17-Didn't sleep well.  Exhausted.  Slept in.  Skipped workout.

Tues, 12/5/17-Per Pete Carroll's advice, I completed a tempo/lactate threshold run of 2.5M, even after staying up beyond midnight to watch my Steelers.  He mentioned that I should do a lactate threshold run of 2-3 miles every week or two.  The run felt comfortably hard.  I could have run the full 3M, but I didn't want to overexert myself.

85, 2:28, 4:30, 6:03, 7:35, 9:07, 10:38, 12:08 (6:05), 13:37, 15:05.
