Met Fritz and JP at HHS and warmed up over to Liberty for a workout of 4 x (4min on 2min off).

I wanted to start at about a 5:55 pace and maybe work down a little each repeat if I felt alright. We all stuck pretty close together on the first loop and then JP and Fritz dropped their pace. I started feeling it on the second repeat and had to give myself a little pep talk. I knew it was a little too fast as well. I backed off on the third a little and then slowed even more on the last one. I wanted to see how the last one would feel right at about 6:05 to see if I could feel relatively comfortable at that pace. All in all, it was a good workout though I would have liked to have felt better at the end.

The average paces for the 4 repeats were 5:52, 5:43, 5:51, 6:06.

Easier said than done but if you would've stayed closer to 5:50 on 2, 3 would have gone better. Also, not sure where the hill was in these repeats but that's a possible factor. Hopefully 6:05 felt pretty comfortable.

Finally, while it's frustrating to not keep up (I have been there many a time) I think what you are feeling is good. As the lego ninjago ninjas say, iron sharpens iron.

Nice workout! Makes me wish I had a job where I didn't have to be out the door at 6:30 am.

Josh - I think you are right about staying closer to 5:50. I need to watch that better. 6:05 felt alright but my left side is a little off and needs some maintenance.

Thanks Rob. Out the door to work by 6:30 is rough. I leave my house at 5:50 to get these runs in so I can leave at 7:30 to work.
