Running intervals 45:15 [3] 8.1 km (5:35 / km)
shoes: Kayano 23
Nice and sunny day but quite warm (27 deg). Headed out for my first interval session in a while and duly suffered. Did 6 x 2min H / 1 min E, followed by 3 x 1min H / 1min E. . I found these pretty tough going, but the first interval session after a break is always hard. Pace wasn't great but was mostly okay-ish (4.18, 13, 8, 15, 31 (uphill), 19), and not so great for the 1 min intervals (4.04, 25, 11).
Good to focus on how the session will help in the London City Race in a few weeks time - even ran with an old race map from a couple of years ago. The logistics around the London race got a bit more complicated today with the news that I have to be in Beijing on the Monday after the race (which is on Saturday). So have asked for an early start in the race so I can go straight from the race to Heathrow to get on a flight to Beijing at 3pm. Will be a bit of a scramble but it should be okay if all the transport connections are working as expected...
