Road running intervals 21:30 [5] 6.0 km (3:35 / km) +1m 3:35 / km
Battersea Park. Intervals (6 x 1km, off 2:30 recovery) - splits 3:37, 3:35, 3:37, 3:33, 3:35, 3:33 (average 3:35)
I thought this would be a tough session, so was pleased to get through it with an average overall pace on my 3:35/km target. There was a bit of a wind today (blowing west to east) which made the 1st/3rd/5th intervals quite a bit tougher – I was quite worried after the first one whether I could keep the pace up – but the return legs felt much easier. Certainly felt like I was working hard to get through this on the target pace, but I guess that's how an intervals session should be.
