Fartlek 1:24:01 [5] 20.01 km (4:12 / km) +89m 4:06 / km
slept:8.5 shoes: Turbo 2 - white
Holy fuck that was tough. What a difference 200m makes and clinging onto the pace for dear life for the last 2 reps!
Slept well last night and up at 8ish for breakfast and coffee. Much milder today and some warmth to the sun (in Scottish terms anyway). Really breezy though with 16-18mph winds which made the pacing tough today. Not tough to hit but obviously running harder on the reps into the wind.
Easy 20 went well and headed to the Meadows. Felt pretty pumped for the session and legs moving well. First 3 reps felt good and manageable with the mile split half and half. 4+5th reps started to feel like I had to work hard for the rep to keep the pace and the moderate 800s after these reps felt pretty tired. Last two reps I was clinging on to hit the pace. Last hard 800 felt really tough and a grind. Easy 20 down the road I was pretty knackered but pleased with how that went overall.
On reflection, hitting or exceeding the first 4 reps for pace plus the wind maybe took its toll as the session went on.
