Hi TheEd, 2k session just completed!
I did it on a grass cricket/rugby field, as no tracks around us, and didn't want to run on the local tar cycle path.
Target pace 5:37/km or 11:14, from my 4kTT of 22:06.
2k_1 11:14.6 Walk 2'
2k_2 11:13.1 Walk 2'
2k_3 11:12.7 Walk 2'
The first interval I went out at 4:30/km and kept having to peg it back until I hit the right pace, but after that did it by feel.
I felt good on the first 2 intervals, but with 600m left on the 3rd interval I was happy enough that I didn't have another 2 to do. :-)
I felt fully recovered with the 2' rest, although glad it wasn't a jog recovery, as I don't tend to 'recover' when jogging.
So in essence I think I could do the same session with 90" rest if necessary, and even add in an extra interval, but I guess that comes later.
How does it look/sound to you, as expected?
Tomorrow is a rest day, and my birthday, I will be 51. Might have a few beers and a nice curry to celebrate :-)
Cheers, Andy
