Ok it went well today. I just did 8 x 400m - cautious in my old age these days ;-) at a 4'10" pace aka 14.4km/h. Also hoping not to catch another cold as everyone in Melbourne seems to be ill at the moment.
The first 400m felt pretty hard, but I think that was because all last week's runs were so slow. I got into my stride and the others all felt ok. Breathing was up to 4 strides/breath so quite steady. My heart rate was high 170s or early 180s immediately after the interval, and stayed that high for around 30s, before coming down quickly. It was back in the low 120s by the start of the next interval.
Legs feel like they've had a good workout :-)
Also - I've discovered a new skill of learning how to jump on and off a moving treadmill!
Cheers,
Gavin
