First Test: Run for Gold (fools gold!)

This is the first 5k of my new program to runa scorching 5k by year;s end. Not expecting too much in terms of time but interested to see how the body is going, drawing a line in sand, so to speak.

Tuesday; 12x400 on 2min with JR

The days of standing recoveries are no more and no breaks between sets either, 12 of the best straight up. Tough session but held between 77-and 80 per 400 for the journey. last 3 were definitley lung busters.

Wednesday, 12k easy

With a need to get soem more hills in my running diet I headed to Darlington for some hill work. I grazed the down-hills and chewed up the uphills. Happy with run and as always runs in the hills rock. Got about 500m of ascent in on the run.


Thursday: 10k with 4x2min @ 5k pace

Felt a little stiff and sore after Tuesday effort. Ran 3.22, 3.32, , 3.32 and 3.30 for the 2min surges so defintley have the speed in the legs, it will be really a factor of endurance on the weekend, which I have hinted in previous post may be somewhat lacking... lets see!
