W5 D1 – Fartlek session

According to the diary today was supposed to be a 4M fartlek session, opting for a pre-work run and not being able to find a buddy I decided to take the session in the gym instead.

I set myself a short sprint interval session averaging 250me fast and 200me or so recovery. The recovery pace was set at 12km/h. I intervaled upto a top speed of around 18km/h and fell no less than 16km/h. It was a very fast 6.6km – I think I finished 5km in under 22mins. Tough but ok just need to try it outside!

Tomorrow is a mixup to the schedule, diary has it at 6M in 57 mins, I am going to run the same route as last week and put my watch virtual partner on the faster speed.

As I write this I know my body isn’t at 100%, I have been sniffling and sneezing for days but I am still perfecty able to train so hopefully tomorrow will be no difference!

Till then…
