A quick post following my first interval
session. It’s been a while since I’ve done
this properly, so my pacing is off and before today, I was worried that I
lost speed.
Today’s session was 1x 5min interval at
half marathon pace, 4.02min/km or 6.27min/ mi.
The first 45mins was easy after which I built into the interval with
hesitance, ‘can my lungs handle this’
‘can my body handle this’ ‘wow, from nothing to 5mins’ etc.
Soon those thoughts didn’t matter because
the interval had begun. Focusing on
form, I pushed the speed, not a sprint but going pretty hard. Legs flailing, brain focus waning, ‘get it together, it’s one 5min
interval. Focus on form and let the
speed end up where it may.’
Watch beeping, the first km of the interval
was done, 3.53! I couldn’t believe
it. A huge boost for the last 67seconds.
Post interval, I finished easy with a big
smile on my face, ‘some speed still
there, now time to build on it.’
