Hello TheEd,
I tried the interval yesterday, but it did not go very well. I guess it was partly my own fault as I was (and still am) a little sick. The last couple of days I'd had some runny nose, sour throat and stomach unrest. Nevertheless as I had no fever I felt ready to run. Not sure if this was the only reason, but I really could not finish the practice.
I did a decent warm-up jog and started running. It felt quite hard from the start and the beginning of the first 2000 was a little too fast, at peak speed at even 3:41 / km, but I slowed down and finished 2000m at 9:47. Average HR was 166 with a peak at 182. Already at this point I felt really exhausted. The rest brought my HR down to 128 bpm, but starting the second leg was again difficult. After 1.15km at the right speed I felt I must vomit and I had to give up. I had no problems with my legs etc, but it felt that I will cough and vomit my lungs out through my mouth. At that time, the second leg also had an average HR of 166.
So I gave up and jogged / walked back home after finishing only half of the exercise.
Now I am more sick and I will rest a few days until fully recovered before getting out again.
The move is stored in movescount, number 787982. Any advice or any theories why it was so difficult for me? The weather was OK, +3 degrees and small rain. I ran on sand that was a bit soft, but this is where I run normally. Should I take the intervals a bit slower or maybe shorter in the beginning?
Looking forward to your advice.
