A.M. 5 x 1000, l lap jog recovery, at East, 5 x 100 accelerations, 4 x hill skips
This mornings' workout felt EARLY but I also felt pretty good and was pleased to see the forecast snow storm was late. The goal for this workout was to do something signficantly more intense than AT work for the sake of training modulation, but still stay pretty confortable. Today began week 3 of my base phase, during which all interval training will be light. Intervals at 6 min/mi pace worked well last week so I did the same today but ran 5 x 1000 instead of the 4 x 1200. They were easy. For the accelerations, I hit top-end during a portion of each of them. During hill skips, I focused on maximum hip extension.
1000s (finish HR):
3:52(181)
3:46(184)
3:45(183)
3:45(185)
3:41(187--last 200 in 38-39 spiked HR).
Ran in trainers, Brooks Defyance.

P.M. 1.80 mile mini-run. Warmed-up and finished just under 8 minute pace, which was surprising because it felt much slower.
