TheEd,
OK, 5x1000m went v.well today. Four of us tried it out. All went smoothly. V.Warm here, started out steady then managed rest all with good gusto.
Watch memory was full so no record of splits or pace. Real time pace was varying between 4:00-4:20 even on hills on track at workplace (2laps=1000m).
Calves did tighten up but nowhere near as bad as expected. Used lightweight race shoes, felt good. Did a quick core session and stretch after, feeling strong all round, although a little tired now.
Off to 100km Mountain Bike venue this eve. Competing on Sunday - 2.4km of vertical climb in total across the Yorkshire Dales, Penine region so will be a serious workout.
Will update on Sun/Mon for advice on next run.
Have a great weekend,
D
