Day 4 of the Pete plan and another interval session. This time 1500x5 with 5 minutes rest and boy did I need them. The first 3 intervals were reasonably but comfortable but it began to hurt on the 4th one. The 5th was very hard and I was unable to wind up the pace much. Nevertheless the target pace of 5k-1 was achieved and now I have a target of 1:55.3 to aim for next time I do this session. I came away feeling I had achieved something and looking forward to the next interval session - these interval sessions are great fun and make a welcome change from the long steady rows necessary for marathon training.
Todays session began with a 10 minute warmup covering 2345 metres and a 10 minute cooldown covering 2250 metres. Total distance 12196m.
It is good see other Free Spirits will be trying this plan and I look forward to comparing notes.
