Fartlek

So the morning workout went pretty well. headed out the door and after 15 minutes warm up, straight into 8*2 minutes on/off. Managed to run 2.9 miles total for the 16 minutes 'on' and the recoveries were 7.30 pace. Total run 7.5 miles in 51:40.

I have a confession to make....I'm going to run a 5k this weekend. Despite my comments last week, I have succumbed to the temptation. Couple of reasons. Lisa and the kids are going to be out of town so what else can I do on a Saturday morning?? Two, Pete will be laying down his new 5k pr and I would have been going to watch him anyway. Three,it's a low key race, no grand prix points, etc. so I might be able to place and get some confidence back. Four, the legs seem to be coming round nicely. My goal will be to be able to beat 16:30. We'll see.....

  1. Good luck this weekend!

    I look forward to the day when 16:30/5k is "coming around" for me.

    Any group-type runs for you during the week? I think that a few people meet up @ the Dowd Y on Wednesdays for a longer(ish) run...
