Pretty good workout, was nice to run in a group like that, and share leading. Workout felt better as it went on. Pretty tired from the half marathon on Sunday

Run - 2018 Edmonton Half Marathon
Post Workout Blog:
Solid race! Race went out with about 4 of us from the start. 9:00 at 3k, 15:20 at 5k, and around 31:00 at 10k. Felt like we slowed down a good amount from 12k -18k, but I closed quite well the last 2k, probably in around 5:50 or so. It was good to get the win, and good to close a half hard like that. I’ve been running on tired legs the past couple weeks, and training hasn’t been going great, so I’m happy with the result considering everything.

Leg and foot twitching seems to have gotten better the past couple of days. A bit of left Achilles twitching today, and minor left arch and outside of foot twitching. Glad it seems to slowly be getting better now

3200m @ half-marathon race pace on the track in trainers, full recovery, then 4 x 800m on 1’ rest in flats
Post Workout Blog:
Decent workout - the 3200 felt quite smooth, and was right on half-marathon race pace. The first two 800’s were good, and the last couple felt off. Not too concerned - just think I may need to rest a bit more
