Intervals in the park
1 reasonable paced lap to find the way around, then a pyramid of 1 min, 2 min, 3 and back down, after this my shins were hurting quite a lot.
Then we sprinted one side and rested, sprinted the next and rested, all the way around.
Then we planned to do 4 x 2 mins sprint and walk back, but my shins were hurting too much after 2, so John did one more and i jogged back.
