Interval Torture

Well I had 6 tough workouts planned for the next 3 weeks and the first one was today: 3x2000 intervals. Yes, the felt much more difficult than last weeks 3x1600s - hopefully some of that was the post race rundown. It only gets more difficult with a 5 mile 'long/tempo' Friday and more longer intervals over the next 2 weeks (4x2000 and 5x2000 -which I'll probably try doing on the run home). I should mention that I'm doing these 'off-track' - so my pacing may be a little off - but I tried to just run hard for 8:30 - figuring that'd be about about 2000.
