Hi again ED,
I just did the 5 x 2000M session. I hope that is OK :whistle:.
I did a 2000M warm up, a few exercises and then four strides to loosen the legs.
It was about 15 degrees starting the session and about 25 degrees finishing. I was starting to get warm by the end.... phew....:yes:
This session was done on a 400M running track. All of the recoveries were 90seconds.
The watch doesnt lie so heres how I got on.
1st 7:55mins Splits were 1st lap 90 seconds 1st Km 3:55, 2nd Km 4:00min.
2nd 7:52mins 1st lap 90 seconds 1st km 3:52, 2nd km 4:00min.
3rd 7:51mins 1st km 3:54, 2nd km 3:57.
4th 8:31mins 1st km 4:14, 2nd km 4:17.
5th 8:20mins 1stkm 4:16, 2nd km 4:04.
I died a bit on the fourth 2000m, and I think I sub consciously eased off a little. I noticed my breathing was easier then that for the first three 2000m's. I'm think I am afraid of completely dying near the end, and am concerned with leaving something in the tank for the end.
I have to say that overall I am happy with this session. My knee was fine for the run but is a bit stiff now. I have iced it and hope it will mend completely soon.
Best regards and thanks again
