I LOVE Intervals. I call them Reps though ...and it's all I do! ;-)

I rejected the session on offer at track this morning as it involved ...

... jog back recoveries.

NO! JUST NO!

In Fetch terms I admit to being freak and weirdo.

I think I don't like efforts and recoveries, but I enjoy them once I've started and I love having done them and looking at the patterns when I upload the training. I'm going to do them every week in October.

OK so I’m ready to think ahead to October. I’d like to continue my goal of being social and pushing outside of my comfort zone (socially but also in terms of my paddling and biking). My project for October (which I’ve kind of started) is to decorate my hallway. It’s a big job but since I can’t visit family or have my boy home I am going to make use of my annual leave to get it done.

So this is what I did this morning instead of 8 x (sprint 50 - jog back 100)

4 x (Sprint 150 -walk on 50m - sprint 100) 4-5 mins between sets

That sounds like a session that would need long recoveries between sets, Sharkie. Is it hard to pace 150, with it not being a race distance?

Not really V-rap - sprinters run loads of 150s in training - it's marked on most tracks and is occasionally raced. But - along with 300m - not often.

This morning I was using the back straight mainly, misjudged my second 150 and only ran 100. That meant the second part of the pair HAD to be 150. Much harder!

Sorry folks - this is all blog stuff really, am just being self indulgent (mememememememe) :-)
