What I had hoped to be a longer workout turned out to be much shorter because Jack showed up late. WAs going to mark the FT ultra course at 9:30 for the 11 run, which I thought would give me a solid 2 hours. Not quite. Bummer.

10 x 3 minute intervals at around 5k pace. Aimed for around 3:30 pace, but was a little bit slower. 3:30 pace would put me in at 17:30, but I've run 5ks faster than that, so I guess I should have gone a bit faster. 3:20 would give me a sub-10 3000m and a 16:40 5k. Then again, on rolly trail, so it might've otherwise been faster. I wish we had ParkRuns in Edmonton. Its a money-losing venture, though.

A much better workout, 20 x 1 minute intervals around Edmonton ski club, some up, some down. Finally an opportunity to push the pace a bit, averaged around 2:55/km, though some were up and osme were down. I do feel I could stand to push a bit harder, though. When there are so many people around who, in my opinion, are racing to be near the front, it makes me feel self-conscious to run harder. Because then they'll be as judgy as I am of them1

Went for a short run after the office. These lame sub-hour jogs post work are not great. If I had a 7AM morning run partner, training would be going so much better right now.
