On this day:

Fartlek, 5 x 2:30, 4 minutes recoveries (6 Miles Approx)


I warmed up for 15 minutes into the howling wind, and ran the repetitions with the wind at my back (old NB 832’s on Brean beach). I then cooled down for 10 minutes, jogging back to the house (which happened to be into the wind). During the repetition work I was absolutely motoring! I was covering well over 800m in each fast section, thus I definitely replicated tonights prescribed session of 5 x 800m. No doubt it was mostly due to the tailwind, but I was getting a monster turnover & stride-length! My legs felt good, and my breathing was pretty comfortable after the first rep. The limiting factor seemed to be heat stress. On a side note, this beach is absolutely perfect for running on, it reduces the impact stress down to virtually zero, and the footing is pretty much ideal. Things are looking good for Saturday anyway.
