Intervals,hill runs, strides and tempos THURSDAY, 10 MAY 2012

7th May

May Bank Holiday Monday. 1 mile warm up, 1 mile interval with 2 minute recovery, 1mile interval with 2 minute recovery. Legs were feeling like jelly at this point. 1 mile interval with 3.5 easy jog home. Splits for the interval miles were 6.40, 6.44 and 6.36. The last mile was my fastest despite finding it tough. HRM for last mile was 165. This was encouraging. Total mileage 7.7. Time on feet 63 minutes (approx). Went to see the “Avengers” in Limerick. Bumped into the lovely Noreen Buckley, pro of North Cork AC. Preparations are starting for the Charleville half marathon in September
