Hi The Ed,
It's Thursday here so I went and did my 3 x 1600m with 3 mins rest. I set a pace of 4'20" - so around 7 mins for each 1600m. Not sure how that compares to what you intended?
I think maybe Tuesday's 1600m might have taken more toll than I realised because I drank masses of water that afternoon, and ate more too. During the 1st interval today I didn't feel quite as fresh as on Tuesday but I got through it ok. By halfway through the 2nd interval my legs were feeling a bit heavy and it took some concentration to keep going. The 3rd interval if anything felt easier (maybe because I knew it was the last one) although the final 400m were pretty hard. Breathing same as last time - 3 strides in, 3 strides out, but breaths were deeper than on Tuesday.
Looking forward to any comments and the next instructions.
Cheers,
Gavin
