Physio 5:00 [0]
Part one. I am going to get bored of this very quickly.
7 AM
Intervals 59:31 10.01 km (5:57 / km) +30m 5:52 / km
ahr:158 max:190 shoes: Red Saucony Cohesion
Intensity 5! There it is! Today was my first track session in about six months, and it went better than expected. It was very humid and I got two big downpours while I was out. There were two sets of adorable goslings wandering around the track, and they did an Abbey Road style march across the track in front of me on lap 5. They have also put a couple of portaloos next to the track, which makes the concept of intervals a way more welcome one for my stomach too.
Plan was strides, 6 x 600m, 75 secs rest, aiming for 2.30-2.35. I didn't hit the aim time on any of the laps, I was under for all of them. It felt like the right speed though - running hard but strong, definitely not on the edge, and HR looks about right. Went all out on the last one and the difference was very apparent - it felt awful! So I think my pacing was pretty much spot on. Times:
2.18
2.23
2.18 (really thought this was going to be slower, the power of being warmed up!)
2.23
2.28
2.13
Jog back was hard - not much energy in the bank first thing, and very happy to have my porridge now!
