Since I had an easier three days at the end of last week, I was ready for a good hard workout. I warmed up 15 minutes and then ran 3 x (3k, 2k, 1k) at 6:15, 6:00, 5:45 pace. 1 minute recovery, with 3 minutes between sets. I have never been able to complete a full three sets, so I'm pretty happy with this workout. The best thing is, I still felt pretty strong the last set. This workout is courtesy of Annie Bergesal, a 2:28 marathoner. 12.42 miles of workout, cooled down to 15. It would be interesting to take out the 1 minute recoveries to make a 6k progression with 3 minutes between sets. Hmmm. Something to try on another day.
