Some light strides before getting started.

Pre-workout shot.

This was a pretty clever workout that Jailhouse put together as it's sets of 1600 meters with 1100m of it hard. The run is a total of continuous effort for 8k with 5500m hard. The key to the workout is switching gears during the hard 300 meters.

Lacing up the new kicks.

Meagan decided that she wanted to run some of the effort with me so she tagged along during the second lap of the 800. Her other domestique duties required her to take lots of photos.

Trying to find some speed in those legs.

Splits:
2:33.54 (46.48), 46.39 (1:21.03)
2:31.82 (47.75), 47.75 (1:18.20)
2:30.83 (46.70), 48.17 (1:18.53)
2:30.67 (45.78), 46.92 (1:21.73)
2:29.75 (47.62), 46.26 (1:16.48) for 27:02 for 8k

Number 3 or 4?

I felt solid the entire way running in my new adizero Rockets. I developed a bit of a hot spot on my right foot but it didn't seem to slow the pace. The 800s were comfortable, almost felt a little slow. The 200m rest was honest and the hard 300s were rather fun. Turning the legs over felt good and made the workout worthwhile.

Post workout barefoot running.
