Through town up to the A591 main road out of Kendal. 3km relativity flat path along side the motorway with nobody on it and a lot less traffic than usual. A bit windy when massive lorries fly past but a pretty decent spot for the session.

5 x 1’ fast / 1’ moderate + 3km tempo + 2’ easy + 5 x 1’ fast / 1’ steady.

I wasn’t overly fussed about hitting paces bang on or going too fast. I think that actually made it a much better session than what it would have been. It looks like I was going around 3 min km pace or just under for the efforts and around 3’45”km pace for the moderate minutes.

The 3km tempo felt great I think I managed to keep the intensity in just the right place luckily whenever I felt I was tipping over there was a little bit of downhill which helped. 3’17” 3’16” 3’18”

The two minutes easy before the last set was nice and I felt ready to go again.

On the second set the efforts were a bit slower but the moderates were the same but everything was a very similar intensity which I think is what counts.

Probably a perfect session, not too hard it didn’t take much out of me at all but I think it was all really good quality running. Very enjoyable.

From where I finished the session on the motorway back through town and up the hill back home. Felt great. Found a little technical trail along the river on the way back and practiced my technical trail running skills hopping over roots and rocks.

Went for a very easy cycle with Sam just passed Staveley about 25km with 300m lots of chatting. Very pleasant. Great weather.
