The weather prevented the first track workout (the 5x 2k) - The indoor track was consumed by the track team and snow / sleet coupled with 30 mph winds made the workout not plausible.
Sunday I ran 16:40 , winning by a full minute in a 5K. Conditions were not optimal , 26 degrees and breezy. My final 1k was 3:17. I warmed up 4 miles and cooled down just under 7 miles.
Last night I performed the first 1K workout. I felt the workout was not completely exhausting.
My recoveries were precisely 90 seconds (89 on one).

My splits were very even throughout the workout. I warmed up 3 miles, and cooled down 3 miles. I felt the times were solid given a 5k Race two days prior.
I am planning on trying 5 x 2K on Thursday. Is this OK? I am a strong proponent of not making up workouts, however wanted your advice coach.
Thanks!
