Finsbury parkrun #295
(ran at LT)

October 10, 2015 3.1 miles 21:16 6:53/mi

First time at Finsbury parkrun – nice course and only two laps which somehow makes it feel shorter. Hilly though so definitely not a PB course!

HRM played up for first half, so tried to run by feel. Definitely need to practice running downhill fast, so might try to make this course a regular visit.

parkrun warm-up

October 10, 2015 3.0 miles 24:22 8:06/mi

Easy w/10×12s hill sprints

October 9, 2015 8.3 miles 1:11:14 8:37/mi

GPS a bit screwy today, pretty sure pace should have been faster on the early section of the course. Strava backs this up, giving me an extra 0.2 miles.

Yet another recovery run

October 8, 2015 7.1 miles 1:03:31 8:56/mi

Track session (1×2 mi, 4×1 mi @ goal 10K pace)

October 7, 2015 10.0 miles 1:15:16 7:31/mi

5 min jog recovery after 2 miles, 3 min jog recovery after 1 mile repeats. Given my 10K time at the weekend I’ve revised my goal to 39:30. Was a bit unsure how the legs would feel but they coped well and everything felt decent. I’m pleased with the consistency of the splits.

Last interval slightly hampered by some little shits who thought it was funny to run in front of me, but thankfully a City of London employee dealt with them fairly promptly.
