Good one today with TCLA. Warm up mile, 5 mile tempo around the park, 25 minutes with jog to track, then intervals. Was running with some guy who ran with Tarzan in high school, which is super dank. Said TZ's coach in high school was super type A and they clashed a lot. So cool to hear about him and make that connection! Nice guy, ran a few years at SDSU before stopping running for a while and now building back up. Workout felt really good. Felt very controlled on the tempo, just let my body find the right pace and cruised along. The intervals were great too, just tried to stay relaxed and find a good maintainable rhythm. These workouts are tough to gauge actual fitness because of how much rest we get, but they definitely are helping! Looking forward to racing sometime soon. Splits: 5:34-32-30-29-28, then 3:46-2:25-68-67-2:24-3:34
