This was great today. Finally feeling rejuvenated after a long tiring week. Kept it fairly steady for the first two half loops and the times were fairly consistent even though I increased the effort. Then I put my spikes on for the last one and I felt like a whole different beast. Running felt super easy suddenly and I was cruising effortlessly while running fast. It got pretty hard about half way but I knew I needed to finish strong and hold myself together in order to have a great workout. Finished strong and was pleasantly surprised to see the time I ran on my watch. Got a bit of a blister from the spikes but not too bad and it was worth it. Will wear different spikes for when I actually race just didn't want to ruin my good ones on the LPH trails. Was only hands on knees by the end so there is still more there and I think my body is getting used to doing more volume than I did today. Happy and excited about how this workout went. Can't wait for the next upcoming week of training.
