1 1/2 mile warm up, then 4 miles in 25:52 (6:28 pace), and then a 1 1/2 mile cool down.  Solid stuff in the cold evening air...

Warm up then 8 x 800 metres with 2 minutes rest between each one.  Splits for the 800s were 3:03, 2:58, 3:00, 3:00, 3:03 (windy), 3:09 (very windy), 3:00 & 2:57.  All of that followed by a cool down.  Felt good, but tired by the end.

1 1/2 mile warm up, then 3 miles at a little faster than MGP, then 2 minutes of easy running, followed by 1 mile at 1/2 MGP pace, then 1 min rest, and then another miles at 1/2 MGP pace.  Legs tired after that one.

First run since the marathon.  2 miles super easy on the small path around the park.  Didn't feel too bad.

Super easy on the trail with David.  It was great just to take it easy, have a chat and feel relaxed...none of this MGP nonsense ;o).
