would be good to try start with the last 8 minute pace and finish stronger

controlled running if possible, will set you up for later success

nice to see all the sessions coming together, should be better prepared for the race

onwards TheEd

Thanks TheEd!

I ran by percieved effort and did not pay any attention to pace on my watch, but tried not to reach threshold. With head winds it was hard to keep the same pace on all laps. I hope for better conditions on the next 5x8 which is next week, a few days before the race the 29th.
