Interval (happy intervals!)

Just got back in from my interval run. It wasn’t as traumatic as I thought it was going to be.

all 6 intervals were 8 minutes but I’ve worked out a few of the distances.

The first interval was about a mile (might have been just under, but not much)

2nd interval was about 0.9 of a mile

Can’t remember where I started running and finished running on interval 3

interval 4 was 0.78 of a mile

interval 5 was one of the hardest, and was more up hill than some of the others (not too considerably but enough to feel difficult) was just over 1km (someone had helpfully painted km markings on the cycle track!)

last interval was .83 of a mile (was quite hard and my legs were pretty sore by this stage – the rain had turned heavy too, really going to pray for no rain on the Half Marathon day!)

The song that kept me going on the last interval was Daft Punk Stronger, Harder, Faster: Work It Harder Make It Better
Do It Faster, Makes Us stronger felt appropriate!!

I’m quite pleased with that run, I kept what you had put as your last comment about I can do more than I think I can and that helped when it was hard. I’m pretty chuffed I managed a few 8 min miles in that. Lets see what the 2 hour 2o min run will turn out on Thursday.

till then, adios
