Local terrain. Old jeep trail loop on George's property. After more heavy rain, waited for the rain to taper off (as forecast), so didn't get out until Noon. Steady drizzle, though temp was in the 50's, so not too bad.

Wanted to do something more up tempo, so (for the first time) did some threshold intervals on the jeep trail loop. The loop is .2 miles; splits are for two laps (so .4 miles). First 6 laps were a warmup, last 6 (1.2 mi, 10:59) were at threshold pace - actually started getting in O2 debt on the last one. Pace may seem a little slow for threshold, but taking into account running in terrain, it's about right, at least for my current ability.

(continuing from warmup without stopping...)

345 [102], 338 [105], 333 Total: 1059 (Avg: 340)

Could've pushed for one more interval, but given that I haven't done anything like this in a while and given that Morgan Territory is coming up Sunday - first orienteering in over two months - didn't want to over do it. Still, an excellent workout. Feels really good running in terrain, next to trees, and no cars.

Be nice to build this up to 5 2-lap intervals or 4 3-lap intervals.

Cool down. After walking for a minute, did 4 half-laps (the closer to the road side), back and forth.
