When I started my warm up miles it looked like I was going to have a fast day. But then my hamstring started feeling weak. This issue came out of nowhere because I have not been feeling a thing the past few weeks. The issues continued into my speed work as I had trouble hitting my splits. The work out was 6x800 meters @ 4:48-4:56 pace (2:24-2:28) with 3 minutes rest. I was thinking that this work out would be relatively easy, but with the hamstring weakness that was not the case. Here are the splits:
| Splits | Pace | Time |
| Split 1 | 4:56 | 2:27 |
| Split 2 | 5:00 | 2:29 |
| Split 3 | 4:54 | 2:27 |
| Split 4 | 5:00 | 2:30 |
| Split 5 | 5:00 | 2:30 |
| Split 6 | 5:03 | 2:31 |
The hamstring issues are kind of weird because I have been running relatively slowly after the Bayou City 10k. But I have been doing a lot of speed recently with the races and speed work so maybe that is the reason. The hamstring didn't feel like anything serious and felt like one of those things that go away but I'll have to be smart about it.
