This was actually a challenging workout. As I found myself constantly wanting to go fast and I know I should keep within my prescribed pacing since running at a 5k race pace can be comfortably hard...but what was even more challenging was the recovery jog too. After the first 3 intervals I was able to slow down and speed up more consistently. For it being early April, it does get depressing seeing a foot of snow everywhere, although the road was a lot more clear and dry.
