...this was the first time I've run 1200m repeats.....and it wasn't at all easy! Harder than expected, in fact. Easy enough for the 'spring runner' on the left, but I don't have springs like that to run with! It is, however, very much like the way Virtual Partner runs trying to catch up and pass me; today he lost again; I was well ahead for every interval!
Usual 2km warm-up; drills, strides.
I had 3 minutes walk/jog/walk recovery between repeats.
1km warm-down.
4 x 1200m
(1) 7:06 AHR 80%; MHR 84%. Avg. Pace 5:54
(2) 6:56 AHR 81%; MHR 87%. Avg. Pace 5:45
(3) 6:44 AHR 83%; MHR 92%. Avg. Pace 5:35
(4) 6:56 AHR 86%; MHR 95%. Avg. Pace 5:43
I was really, really tiring by the fourth repeat and I don't think I'd have run well or even finished a fifth one if I'd had to do it!
Distance today 8km
