Intervals (6×1000m @ ~6:22 pace)

7.3 miles 56:43 7:48/mi

Legs felt a little tired today, not surprising really given my biggest ever mileage week last week. Dug in and ended up with a decent pace. I also reduced the recovery to 400m from the 500m I used to use, to make it easier to measure on the track.

Tempo run (4.5 miles @ ~7:14 pace)

7.5 miles 59:39 7:55/mi

Pleased with the pace despite net uphill route and blustery conditions. I was running at my 10K PB pace, but heart rate was at least 10 BPM lower than it was during my 10K. No ankle niggles like my previous few tempo runs either. With any luck a new PB should be on at the Regent’s Park 10K I’m doing next week.

Intervals (5×1600m @ ~6:41 pace)

8.1 miles 1:00:50 7:28/mi

Pretty pleased with the pace on these 1600m intervals, especially as it was quite windy today. The third interval (split 6) should be a full 1600m, but the Garmin reset again losing the last lap. Really wish Garmin would sort this shitty watch out, really poor.
