Intervals: 1 K by 6 Sets

Thursday is interval day. So I was planning to go home early to hit the road. But then I got new reading assignment from Boss, so I worked extra one hour. By the time I got home, I felt stressed out, and wasn't in a mood for running. But knowing motivation only rises from action, I threw my feet into MUTEKI, my minimalist split-toe sock-like shoes, and slowly started jogging. After jogging for twenty minutes, I felt warmed up. So I decided to do what I was originally scheduled to do: 1 K by 6 sets intervals with one-minute jogging between sets. The result of the training tonight is shown below:

Jog: 20:00.56
Rest: 5:28.58
1st K: 4:33.19
Jog: 1:00.14
2nd K: 4:17.87
Jog: 1:00.07
3rd K: 4:18.92
Jog: 1:00.17
4th K: 4:26.27
Jog: 1:00.31
5th K: 4:24.80
Jog: 1:00.24
6th K: 4:28.07
Rest: 2:00.11
Jog: 20:00.61
Total 13.6 K: 1:18.59

I was still sore from muscle training I did yesterday and this morning. Much of the nutrition seems taken away to fix micro tears in the muscles targeted in the training. I didn't feel that my legs were sufficiently fueled as I went through the sets. Hopefully, I'll have fully recovered by the weekend so that I can do a long run either on Sunday or Monday.
