Run 6.1 miles
Did intervals for the first time this morning. That means running at normal pace, then fast pace, in repetition. I did this between one passing place to the next.
I did 10 or more fast intervals throughout the duration of the 6.1 mile run.
The first 2 miles is basically a warm up, and largely proceeds uphill. The course then flattens out for most of the next 4 miles, bar one sharp hill. This 4 mile section is the point from which I went into interval mode. Giving me 2 miles of running at speed.
It was a surprise to me that I was able and willing to keep it up.. I thought 3 or 4 intervals and I'd be out the game.
The 2nd last interval took place up the short sharp hill. Fastest i've ever ran up that hill. A year ago it was an effort for me to even get up that hill lol.
The final interval was double-length, into a headwind, and flat-out.
In some of my earlier blog entries I said that I felt there was more in the tank. Well this morning I began to use it. I needed this.
Goodnight.
