Got shopping out of the way early this morning - bummer that 24 hour opening doesn't include Sunday, it would be great to be able to do this before the long runs - and drove down to Hove Lagoon again for another interval session this morning. By the time I got there, the rain had thankfully stopped and all that remained was a refreshingly light breeze.
To begin with, it didn't feel all that great. My last run was only just over half a day previously, so there was probably some residual tiredness still hanging about, despite extensive and repeated stretching sessions. And the first 3 minutes proved to be, on reviewing the session data, the slowest bit. After that, again, there's a pleasing and surprising consistency throughout. I'm definitely getting fitter and recovering more quickly from the high intensity blasts in these runs. This was different to Wednesday's, which was a 1-minute-sprint-1-minute-recover, with some 5 minute jogs. Today, it was 3-minute-sprint-3-minute-recover, 6 times, no extended jogging. And I did cover about as much additional distance as I was hoping I would. Overall pace almost down to 9-minute miling.
A restful day with plenty of food ahead, I hope, ready for the 14 miles tomorrow. I REALLY hope that goes better than last Sunday. Almost couldn't bear another run that horrible.
