Thanks for the advice Ed!
Since I had a rest day yesterday and I felt quite fresh this morning, I went for the intervals during the afternoon today. I have a track about 2Km from my house. I have not run on tartan for many years, so it was fun to be back at the stadium where a group of teenage tennis girls where doing 400 meter intervals.
I did 2Km warmup to the stadium at pace 5:00 Avg 148 Max 158
Arrived at the stadium and did the 2K intervals, aiming for 4:25:
L1: 4.23 Avg. 160 Max. 167
L2: 4.24 Avg. 166 Max. 168
R90
L3: 4.24 Avg. 159 Max. 167
L4: 4.21 Avg. 166 Max. 168
R90
L5: 4.21 Avg. 157 Max. 165
L6: 4.20 Avg. 166 Max, 168
R90
And I cruised the 2K back home at 5:00 Avg. 147 Max. 151
This session felt surprisingly solid and not too hard. I feel that this pace just might might be slightly bellow my current 10K race pace.
What now? I don't feel like resting tomorrow.
