Exhausting intervals

Another Tuesday, another "dreaded" SOS workout. They're hard enough, but given that I am currently self-isolating (since a coworker was experiencing COVID symptoms and we're awaiting his test results), I had to do this outdoors rather than in the gym. These paces are really hard to hit without the forcing function of the treadmill. And even harder when the range of temperatures quickly rose from 78-85F in less than 30 minutes, with high humidity.

Goal was 6 ½-mile intervals @ 6:10 pace and 1 ¼-mile interval @ 6:00 pace. All said, I did pretty darn well.

Interval    Goal    Actual

1              3:05     3:08

2              3:05     3:01

3              3:05     3:03

4              3:05     3:04

5              3:05     3:06

6              3:05     3:14 (Yep, it was just too much to fully manage under these conditions)

7              1:30     1:31
