Club Fartlek Session

I was looking forward to the session tonight as following last week's easier week I felt I had a bit of a spring to my step.  I've not managed 5 miles for the 30mins in a while and thought I had a chance. The only negative point was there was 2 x 6mins in the session and it's always harder to get to 5miles with longer reps.

There were 6 of us in our group and I knew I was the slowest so I started at the front and tried to stay ahead as long as I could.  It was a good motivation and helped me to run as hard and fast as I could.  Once home I downloaded my splits ....

So I didn't quite make it but was pretty close so I'm more than happy with that.  My HR graph shows that I was working consistently over the whole session.

I enjoyed the warm up and cool down run with Hayley Haining. She's a real star and I always find it really interesting chatting to her about her training and plans.  When she goes past me she is so light on her feet and really quiet. 

So a good session to start the week.
