5 mile speed session at the running club, 47 mins overall.
I have one of my very rare runners highs!!!
I really did not want to go to the running club tonight, I have not been in ages and it seems such an effort to go back out once you have been home, (I am much better at going to the gym and going out before I go home) but since I had been at a meeting in Blantyre I had to go straight there instead of going home first so this made it much easier.
Mr pacepusher came with my group tonight (he usually goes with a much harder one) which helped me a bit but mostly I was just really ready to do some speed work as I had done my long run on Saturday instead of Sunday so my legs were not too tired. He says I need to add in that he then ran 4 very fast miles home!
I will not bore you with my pace for every rep but they fell between 7.50 minute miling and 6.10 minute miling – which I do not think I have ever seen on my watch before! The reps were 30 secs to 2 mins long with half the time recoveries inbetween.
I am so glad I went out tonight now!
It is twelve weeks yesterday until the London marathon and on Saturday I got up to 16 miles for my long run, which I did on the first part of the West Highland Way. This was good fun but really, really hard work. The first part from Milngavie to Drymen has always been one of my favourite parts of the WHW and it was really good (although muddy) to run it. We got lots of bemused looks from walkers!
Tomorrow I hope to do a 5 mile steady run (ish) and then Body Attack.
