Thursday- Session of 3x1 mile at tempo off 90s in the pouring rain. My Garmin decided it didn't want to work on the first rep so I just ran for 5 mins but I got some readings for the next reps and they were 4:54 (165 bpm) and 4:59 (166 bpm). Felt good and was very surprised to see sub 5 minute miling on the watch.
