W15 D2 – Short threshold session

Schedule listed having to do 3 miles at 8min mile pace, before heading out I was a little sceptical about this. It has been a while since I have done any threshold stuff due to knee problems etc but was willing to give it a whirl.

Being only a short distance I knew I’d be able to cover it over a lunch break so just when my stomach was telling me to eat lunch I went to get changed and head for a run. Not one to do much in the way of warmup I set off at a fast pace and plodded on for 3 miles. As it turns out I had nothing to worry about clocking in sub 7:30min miles for the first 3 and then after forcing myself to slow down a bit for the final mile an 8:08min/mi. I actually felt pretty good which is a result and I’m happy

See mile splits

12mile at a reasonable pace at the weekend. Certainly not race pace but faster than the scheduled long slow run speed.

Not sure what the weather will be like still next week as it’s soooo temperamental at the moment!

Till next time.
