Hi There,
Just came home from the 1k session, and this was the hardest I'v done so far! During one interval I kept thinking "why am I doing this to myself", while others felt easier.
The idea of running at this speed for 10 km seems impossible at this stage, and it's hard to believe that I every will. Nevertheless, it was fun to run intervals at under 5 m/km and just see that number 4 on my watch for once. Hopefully the training will bear fruits.
Here are my stats:
Pace/max heart rate/heart rate after rest
1. 4.56 /159/ 117
2. 4.54 /163/ 123
3. 4.52 /166/ 124
4. 4.55 /165/ 127
5. 4.52 /167/....
I am surprised to see the split times as the average speed when running was 4.55. I just put my watch on pause in the rest time, and work of the average pace of the session. It does not allow for splits.
What do you suggest for the 5K session on Saturday?
Cheers,
Jan Gustav
