Interesting one here. I think it's a good thing I took 400 splits for every rep - otherwise I don't think it would be as evident that I was fading hard late in each of these reps.
6x30 striders actually felt real good. It was like mid 30's and low wind and I think the day off yesterday felt good. (also, doing 50m walk + 100 jog after each strider adds up to .75 miles which is significant enough to start adding to the log)

workout was
2x400 @ 3k pace (1 min rest)
1600 @ 3k pace (3 min rest)
1200 few sec faster (3 min rest)
800 few sec faster (3 min rest)
400 all out (3 min rest)

Was aiming for 5:20 miles (80 sec quarters)
Splits:
79.3
79.3
5:24 [79.7, 82.8, 81.1, 80.4]
3:59 [77.5, 80.7, 81.1]
2:37 [76.6, 80.4]
68.8

So the 400's felt very comfortable
1600 was also pretty comfortable. I think I just sort of fell asleep in the middle there. Still felt tempo/aerobic at the end but my legs were a little strained I think.
the 1200 was tougher but here I think the legs were straining more than anything else. Wish this rep had been a bit faster
the 800 actually felt pretty smooth through the first lap but then I'd say the strain was on in the second half
Interestingly the 400 felt mega smooth. 68 really wasn't that tough - honestly feel like the 400 felt better than the first half of the 800 rep which is really interesting.
