8.5 miles with 5 x 800 today. First VO2max workout in months!
It went well overall pacewise, but I actually stopped it on the 5th one (was planning 6) due to a flare of left lateral hip pain, pretty much the same type I got during the recent 10k race (except that was on the right.) No sense in getting injured now, but it is important that I push my musculoskeletal system back to where it was for race condition, even if that means some lumps and bumps along the way.
Splits
6:16 (6:07 GAP)
6:16 (6:07)
5:58 (6:05)
6:12 (6:10)
6:10 (6:03)
HR 150-160 on all of them
Overall happy with the workout - if it weren't for the left hip, I was actually going to shoot for 7 or even 8 of 'em!
