5 fartleking fun miles today. it was cold and rainy, definitely made for a challenge. Did 2 sets of 3,2,1 ons with 1 min off in between each rep and 2 minute set breaks. Added one final set of 3 on 1 on with 1 min in between as I ran out of real estate. 5 miles total in around 36:00, so I estimated the distances to be 2.6 fast miles and 2.4 easy. Good to get a fartlek in to get a nice effort workout.
