I'm trying my effort session on a Monday night rather than before work on a Tuesday morning.
Working on holding speed for mile and 1500m races is on my agenda so tonight's session was 3 lots of 6 minutes hard with 3 minutes active recovery.
My mile PB is 5 minutes 50 so in hindsight this session is probably a bit high on difficulty to be sticking straight into my programme.
Oh well, I was looking forward to it!
The weather is still rubbish so as it was wet and murky I opted to use the lake path - no tight turns and no road crossings. There were a fair amount of puddles and some uneven patches but it was about effort not pure speed.
It turns out the ground was muddier than it looked. Think I got muddier than at any of this winter's cross country races!
But the effort was right up there so happy with that.
