1:15:32 :: 12.1 miles

Taper workout. Really windy today, which affected the whole workout. For some stupid reason I decided to skip the loop today, except for a couple of the 1000s. It made the 30 min run look better than it was, and the recovery and the first 1000 look terrible. On balance the whole workout went just fine, but if I had stayed on the loop, I would at least have something to compare it to.

The warmup was done into the wind, then turned neutral or with the wind for the first four of the 5.27 miles--the change in HR is obvious for the last mile heading into the wind. The entire 15 min steady recovery and the first 1000 were done 100% into the wind, which is obvious. And then the last two 1000s were done with ~700m with the wind and ~300m against. Running the loop evened the 1000s out to the 'normal' time/effort/HR ratio, so I was kicking myself for avoiding the loop for the first part of the workout. That, and I wasn't dressed for the wind/cold combo today, and I was fscking freezing.
