W4 D1 Return to running – interval session

Getting back into the schedule was of utmost importance to me, I figured I could miss a week and catchup quite easily especially as the mileage was below what my body was capable of. with that in mind, an early drive to the tube saw me in the gym by 8 and onto the dreadmills.

The schedule has me doing:
1M jog
5* 800me fast (4min) w 200me recovery
1M jog warm down

I followed this mileage schedule although the speed may have been faster than requested – that said the session felt considerably more difficult than the W2 sessions, my quads where a bit tight which I can only assume is a consequence of the skiing and lack of running for a week!

Regardless of the pains experienced I completed the session as hoped. As an aside it appears that buffets in hotels are not good for weight loss put it this way, I thought that being on my skis for several hours a day would help with weight stability. Judging from the scales today am this appears to be far from the truth!

Till weds longer run…
