Monday night Fartlek

Another interesting session tonight set by our club coach Derek Parker. We had two sets of 7min 30sec, 4min 15sec and 3min 15sec all with 2min recovery.

There were 9 in our group tonight and we were all working hard. I tried to start near the front of the group seeting a target for Hayley and Gemma to go past. Then as Steven went past I tried to hang for as long as I could and the same with John McL & Donald K.

I felt pretty strong right through the session and one of my aims was to run each second set faster than the first which I achieved ....



It will always be hard to get near the 5mile mark when we have a session like this but it was different and probably a good session for an ultra runner.

I was quite happy with my effort tonight. I still feel I have a way to go but I'm definitely going in the right direction.
