Thanks! 12 hours after this workout, legs felt very tired. It doesn't seem like a lot of volume at LT pace - but I guess I'm just getting started with these harder workouts.

I think thats normal. In my experience, LT workouts dont "hurt" the legs so much as reeeally fatigue them. Its important to give them time to recover even if theres no DOMS. Frequently i just find my paces over the following days just get really slow. (Eg, Today my legs do not feel sore at all, but im sure they're still recovering from yesterday).

As for the volume, thats a great start! Definitely holding the pace back a little will keep it out of the anaerobic zone and allow you to go longer and longer.
