Lunch Run With Speed Work
I just finished a 12.462km running that lasted about 1hh:11mm:32ss !
As training has been changed a little over the past few weeks, I wanted to try something different to my usually Saturday speed work.
I love doing this at the gym on a treadmill as I can tune in the speed of the repeats and just run, where as things are a little different on a track. I also decided to do a nice 7km easy run for the warm up, which is also something a little different for me. @run.kirsty.run joined me for the run as we were going to see if a local sports track was worth doing our speed work at.
Another nice day and we both took it easy for the first 7km run. Then after some warming up, I decided on 4 x 800m with a 200m walk afterwards. I was sitting at an average of about 3 minutes and 8 seconds for each 800m, so was pretty happy with that, but was pretty stuffed buy the end of it. It was a tough work out and my back was actually cramping up afterwards like I had just run a marathon, so it obviously was a good work out for me.
Will try increasing the number of repeats over the comings weeks, and see where it takes me.
Stay Strong Everyone!
