5.00 m @ 8.66 w/ HR of 171.
Basically this was another speedwork session where I started off with 1.50 miles of warmup, then did 3 half mile repeats at 10k pace, with half mile rest sessions in between. I finished up with a mile cooldown.
The repeats broke out like the following:
1st - 7.40 pace @ 180
2nd - 7.63 pace @ 180
3rd - 8.17 pace @ 179
I was doing well on the first 2 but that last one took a lot out of me. It's funny that my HR didn't go up though, as I felt like my LOE here was much higher.
The cooldown mile was slow (9min+) and I needed every bit of that slowness. This was a hard running session and I struggled.
It took a lot out of me the rest of the day too as I had a lot of lethargy and soreness. Maybe there's something else going on as I was also sneezing a lot (allergies?). Or, it could be that my LSD session the day before was too strenuous and I wasn't properly rested for this speed work.
