Ok so I didn't see your message until Friday. I attempted the session but had to abandon it after 2 intervals. I felt like the distance was to much for me. Looking over the last 6 months I haven't had many miles under the belt & very few runs over 10km's. Anyway I was feeling a bit pissed off with myself so I decided to repeat the session the next day. However I reduced the speed as I felt at this stage it was beyond me & it was more important to finish the session.
Wednesday - game (played 65 minutes was fairly comfortable)
Thursday - Abandoned session 9.7km 48:56 5:03 pace
2 x 2km intervals 1)7:45 avg 3:53 pace 148bpm
2)8:01 avg 4:00 pace 150bpm
Friday - 15.3km, 1:12:48 avg4:45 pace
5 x 1.9km around pond 1)7:53 4:09pace 145bpm
2)7:52 4:08pace 143bpm
3)7:48 4:06pace 145bpm
4)7:47 4:05pace 146bpm
5)7:39 4:01pace 149bpm
The session felt controlled except for the last one which started to hurt a little towards the end. Should I carry on with the program or do you think it would be better to do a build program to get miles under the belt. Either way I'm going to enjoy a rest day today albeit in work. I'm aware that sub 40 is beyond me at this stage so I won't stress to much when I do the race on the 4th February.
