8 mile LT, in more supportive flats

Good tempo on roads. Weather felt quite hot, but there was a strong breeze coming from the north, which helped a bit. Got a little antsy around mile 3 & 4, which I payed for a bit, but was able to close my last half mile in 2:26.

Post Workout Blog:
A little disappointed how this one went. It was a slow one off the start, which I expected given the weather and the ability of the top guys to kick hard. I found myself towards the front and on the rail to start, and managed to be there with 800m to go, but didn’t have the speed. I definitely didn’t have the speed today, and need to work on that more. I’ve been through a lot the past few months, and within the past couple of weeks in particular. That’s not to blame, I could have done more speed over the past month, but pushed that off too much. Definitely know what I need to fix, and leaving confident I know what I need to get done to be competitive and finish at the top more often.
