Tempo: 3 x 3200m Cruise Intervals

Another terrific track workout! I probably ran about 5 - 10 seconds too fast each mile (i.e. I could have gotten the same benefit with less stress had I slowed down a bit), but finished strong. The 8pm track workouts have been killing my sleep schedule, though.

I was thinking about switching to 2 x 5,000 m in 20:00/each next week. This down week will give my legs a chance to rest up, which should make that possible.
