Tuesday - 35 mins slow
Wednesday - 10 mins slow, 1/2/4/2/1 mins fast with equal recoveries, 10 mins slow
I jogged to the park and discovered that winter's rugby posts have been taken down and summer's 400m track had been freshly painted on the field, so how could I not christen it with a speedwork session?!
I have to say, watching the real-time version of this workout is rather comical as it downloads round and round at various paces! This was my first ladder session and it went alright, although I am sure my speeds are fairly erratic. Most of my recoveries were slow jogs, but I was struggling a bit towards the end of the third and fouth sessions and walked for a minute. A fun workout!
Thursday - 30 mins slow
Concentrating really hard on running 7-7:30 pace for endurance. Running slow is hard! And I feel like I am spending so long on each leg for every step I take that my form suffers. And I feel like the beginner that I am...
Saturday - 35 mins slow
I really don't like running slow, and actually feel like I am going through a down phase - like I'm getting worse!
Sunday - 55 mins slow
Felt better after this run - maybe what I needed was a decent long workout, because I've only done one other long run this month. Still concentrating on running slow, which became easier as the run got longer ;)
Today was warm and sunny so I took my little Nike hand-held bottle - I hate being thirsty! I discovered another water fountain today en route, so now there are 3 handy top-up points on my long runs.
Used up the last lemon/lime gel, thankfully, because I'm not fond of the medicinal taste. I'm trying raspberry next!
That's my week!
How many days a week do you run? Where do you do your speed workouts? And what is your favourite gel flavour?
