Comments: After a few weeks of skipping speed work, I was pretty determined to get this workout in today. The key to making progress with this is consistency over time so I needed to get on the stick to get some payoff in the time I've got left.
I was still a bit sluggish during the warm up run but not as bad as yesterday. The first interval went well but I knew I would need to push things as the workout progressed. I made it a point to focus on increasing cadence rather than just "run faster." And I held it in the 180 spm range for most of these.

The fourth interval was a mess. I lost concentration and didn't start the Garmin. I tried to improve on the final two and did a decent job of getting back into form. Overall, these times compare decently with my last interval effort but there's a ways to go on this front.
