Original plan was 24 min, 18 min, 12 min, 6 min, 4 min, 3 min, 2 min, 2 min, starting at MP and getting faster. Legs felt ok today, but I’ve been very busy at work so feeling a bit tired mentally. First 24 mins went ok, especially as it was a bit breezy. However while I was able to up the pace for the second 18 min rep, I was feeling very tired and knew that I’d really have to bury myself if I was to complete the session. The last thing I want to do at this point is overcook myself and ruin all the hard work I’ve put in, so I decided to drop the rest of the session. I can hopefully now recover and have a good MP run at Reading.
