12/3/15

Mon 11/30 - PM 55 minutes incl. 3(4x400)

First of the "new" interval sessions at least since I became hip to that term. Basically the recovery is relatively short (nothing new) and a float rather than a slow jog (not unheard of but not standard practice). For tonight aiming to run sets of 4x400 with 100m float recoveries, including one at the end to make the entire set an even 2k. Took splits but wasn't checking them in the dark. Splits were interesting:

Set 1: 81.5 (26.3) 82.5 (26.0) 82.5 (25.4) 82.3 (24.6) - 7:10.9
Set 2: 82.3 (25.0) 81.8 (25.1) 81.3 (24.9) 81.8 (23.8) - 7:06.1
Set 3: 81.8 (24.9) 81.5 (25.3) 82.0 (24.7) 82.6 (23.8) - 7:06.5

Lap jog and change of direction between sets which took around 2.5 minutes. Overall the workout felt controlled but tiring by the end, certainly no opportunity to get bored or lose patience with the way each set felt like a continuous effort. Chilly but no wind to speak of which made the whole thing doable in the first place, pleasantly surprised with how the weather cooperated.
