AM 64/76º by end, all sunshine. Just a bit sticky,  and decided to try a new workout. It seemed a bit different, but what the heck. Started my run and my legs and body are still just drained. Everything was an effort. Hope that I bounce back soon. 3.6 Mile w/u. Then 3x20s Striders @ 5k+ pace. Followed by 6 Miles at MP pace. I avg'ed 7:39/mile so right on. OK since I was in a headwind and did not feel strong. Then 10 minutes at a super slow pace (11-13/mile) - the goal is to get your body to fatigue and feel done. Then 5 More miles at MP, it is supposed to similate late marathon miles. Well my legs DID feel that way. I am not sure if it was the workout or just me. I held on and avg'ed another 7:39/mile. 1 Mile cool down. I honestly do not know how I feel about it, but happy its done.

Interesting workout Dan. I am not sure I could reengage marathon pace after a 2 mile jog. Your mileage has been strong all year.

JG- Thanks, I have been trying to be consistent and injury free. Now a few days later, the workout was interesting. I will probably try it again. 11 of the miles at MP split up by that leg stiffening jog was a challenge.
