Posted on Apr 20, 2010 under Intervals, Speedwork | No CommentIntervals session:
2k warm up
5×800@
3:19
3:36
3:34
3:49
3:35
with 3 minute walking recoveries
Took ages to recover from first one and never quite got back into it – I would start the laps off at decent speed and at about 400m I just hit some kind of treacle or force field and started slowing down and my gasping rate was off the scale. I was giving it everything put just couldn’t a) push the pace up and b) maintain anything much under 7 minute mile pace.
Cooldown – walked, couldn’t be arsed by that point! ➡
Not done intervals for a while so maybe speed edge goes off quickly – or i just need more rest after park run on Sat and a higher mileage week (for me!) last week, will probably take week easy now and let the batteries recharge ready for Bolton 10k.
