I have never run intervals on the track before. Tonight is the opportunity with my club. I tun up and run some gentle warm up laps with Rob. We then do some warm up aerobics.
The session consists of 1200 metres and marathon pace. Then 4 x 800m with 200m jog recovery. I run in a group including Rob, Rob, Mark and Jenny. All of them maybe a minute quicker than me over 5km. At the start they put 20m on me but for the other 600m on each of the laps I manage to hang on. I feel that I had run at a more consistent pace through each interval.
There's a great social atmosphere but everyone works hard. Running on the track under the bright lights feels great. I always find that I feel good after a long run but fantastic after short bursts of high intensity.
A really good session that just feels like it did me good.
