W1R2 - intervals!

[Sandie1961]

Tried the C25k + intervals podcast for the first time for my 2.5k run. My average time per km was slower than Saturday’s parkrun but I was much more out of breath. How can that be? 😩😩

well done for doing the intervals....I don't think I'm upto it yet...I don't feel strong enough. !

Snuffy_T I don’t think I am either 🤣 The short run seemed the best way to test it anyway. 5.5k long run still to come this week 😳

Well done for getting out there & doing it Sandie!

I have no idea about the times! It’s done now, feel proud you’ve done it! 🤩🙌

Well done you.....and if you think you are going very fast and then very slow it pans out. My overall time is often slower....

Same, my overall time is way slower when doing intervals, but I know I'm doing it properly if I finish out of breath. I take the recovery jog quite slowly to make sure I get the full benefit of the change in gear during the intervals themselves which brings my average pace right down. I like to try to get my sprint as fast as possible, just for fun. If it's only ten seconds I know I can afford to really push myself! I must look so funny, I'm not a natural sprinter at all but give it the full Bolt driving arm treatment nonetheless 😂
