In addition to the ladder workout described, I always like 1200 (3 lap) repeats with one lap recovery, because the 1200 distance is faster than a mile but not quite as intense as 800s or 400s. Do at least 4 for 3 miles total fast ( I try to have the fast intervals add up to at least 3 miles).
Also, a 3200 (8 lap) at tempo pace for a solid warmup, then 2x 800 at as close to max effort as possible. It’s easier to run a fast 800 if you know you only have to do 2 of them!
Sounds like a great vacation. Lovely spot. Thanks for the training reminder. In a moment of weakness i signed up for the 5k the day before the 1/2. I know both of these distances are probably short for you, but 5k is really short for me. Guess i should give it some practice runs.
What a lovely read Sarah and the photos beautiful! Wow...it makes me want to hop on a plane and get out your way to run. What views... Even the food...yummy! Thanks again.

5Ks are very hard in their own way! good luck
Well Said. That picture of the farm fields abutting the 3 dimensional mountains is fabulous.
