Went to local club for the first time tonight. 1m jog to meet, then 4 x 1m with 2m recoveries. (I may have taken 3mins on a few)
Told to do it at 10k pace but was put in the wrong group to start with and went too fast.
BUT, I did complete the 4 reps, and ALL 4 were over 85% avge.
TImes were, 6:42 - 7:07 - 7:07 - 7:21 (I think)
Put the first 3 together and I was Well under 5k PB time, so it was far too fast but I enjoyed it!

MAybe, Hann, I have to say that was the hardest session I have ever done, it was hot and humid as well. But a definite bonus as I really pushed on as everyone else was, on my own it would have been quitsville after 2 reps.

well done on finally making it to your local club, just think how much you will improve if you go regularly and keep getting pushed like that. sounds like a tough session. I always find that my first interval is slower than the rest but your first one is the fastest!

eL Bee!
Lums - nothing wrong with a 'harder than you expected' session!
Before you know it you'll have 1m reps that are ALL sub 7
Hann - That's one of the reasons I didn't get the 305!
The Polar strap is more comfortable!

I did enjoy it (when it was over). I do think the guy running it made a "slight error". He asked me my 5k PB (22:50 or 7:20 pace), and then said, right we will run these at 10k pace, you should probably go with these guys here.....
SO off we went, 1 minute later I glance at the Garmin to see I am running at 5:50 pace, slowed down and let them get on with it and after the first rep found another guy to run with for the next 2 reps. Last one I did on my own, and was dying horribly from 0.4 to 0.75m, but then happily, as the finished runners came into sight the old Lums sprint kicked in, and I managed push the last quarter in style.
Definite 70% session tonight though.

I find anything around my chest horribly constricting... a contemplating trying one of those crop tops with a slot for the hrm thing, so you dont need the strap...
