W19D02: 2-mile W/U, (1-mile interval, 0.50-mile recovery, 0.25-mile interval, 200-m recovery, 100-m interval, 50-m recovery), 2-mile W/D.

Ate well and slept mostly well last night. With limited number of workouts per week within the taper period, I decided to repeat last week's speed work but with a modification to cut the volume down a bit. Also, I had been feeling a bit weird/wonky about retiring Ray-cing Flats a short while ago after a good run but not a PR. This pair of shoes has helped me earn so many PRs that I brought it out of retirement and used it for today's speed work.

Voila! The 1-mile portion felt lot smoother than last week's 5:48 effort (which was a PR by 7 seconds over previous best time). I used the same course as last week and with plenty winds in my face over the final 0.40 miles or so, the pace dropped a bit. Would have liked to keep it under 5:30 min/mile mark but I'm quite happy with the 5:32 - a new PR by 16 seconds from last week.

The 0.25-mile and 100-m repeats were took 1:20 (5:20 min/mile) and 0:19 (5:06 min/mile) respectively. Much of the W/D miles doubled up as jogs between/after sets during the weekly Nordic Strength Training Group session. Good run.
