Hi TheEd,
Today, I tried the 5*2 K intervals. The weather was perfect and even though I had a bad cold with a head ache having to take a lot of pain killers, the session went well and I don't think that my performance was impaired by this. I felt that it was the only chance to do them today due to the trip to London and a lot of snow to come to Denmark tomorrow. Here are the results:
1. 8.01.89 Rest 90 seconds.
2. 8.09.98 Rest 90 seconds.
3. 8.03.90 Rest 90 seconds.
4. 8.06.62 Rest 90 seconds.
5. 8.03.57.
The intervals were run on a course which is exactly 2K both according to some guys and my Garmin205. It was really tough and good. Please don't scold me for starting the program with day 1. Tomorrow and Thursday a trip of 0.5 and 1.5 hours will be run I assume. From the above runs, it must be possible to go sub-41 in 3 weeks unless the weather is really bad. Please tell me what you think.
Talking about heart rate monitors, maybe I should very soon invest in Garmin 405. Would this be a good idea?
Ed, thanks a million for your very valuable input!
Cheers,
Paul
