A hill session. Been a while since I did a running interval session of any type and now that i've got a few weeks of having time to train I do one.

Recoveries were between 2.00 to 2.14.

I'ts a bit of a rolling climb, climb, gentler gradient, steeper bit and then a flat section to finish off. So was trying to keep pushing on the flat. Didn't go too badly I felt.

Did have a close call on maybe the 6th recovery. The hill is next to the Castlerosse Golf Course with a hole running parallel to the path. A couple of lads on the tee as I was jogging back down the hill. Thought to myself wouldn't it be funny if the golf ball came my direction.
Chap swung his club, made contact with the ball, it took off at a low trajectory with a vicious swerve in my direction. Came through the fence and passed within a metre of me!!!
He did apologise and I threw his ball back to him on my next recovery jog down the hill.
