Just a 5K scheduled for today after my 10Miles on Friday π
So thought I'd try out some speed intervals..phew i don't know if I liked it..haha was hard work.. only really managed 30 second speed bursts with two minutes slowing..
I was thrilled to get a PB fastest K at 6:48 πββοΈon my last Kπ
I can see the benefits right enough, and like everything else the more practice the longer those speed bursts might last,
So I will try and encorporate them into my shorter runs π
Hoping by the time my race comes around in 3 weeks I can push for a good time π
Happy Running all πββοΈπββοΈπ

You will smash it because you put in the extra effort needed. I ran and swam earlier so feel totally justified in watching Wimbledon under a quilt.... Especially as it's now raining.
Is there a programme for this? I was a bit of a sprinter in school, when dinosaurs roamed the Earth. Now I lack confidence in running flat out - an age thing and I had a couple of calf muscle injuries during C25k - but would love to try it if done properly and expertly.
I think there will be Ian I'm sure someone will point you in the right direction..I'm the same just usually happy to keep a steady pace.. but I'd be thrilled with a 30 min 5K ... And not making much progress still over 35 mins, so I thought well if you don't run fast.. you won't be faster π
I wasn't particularly, I just took a landmark ahead and ran as fast as I could towards it.. maybe 30seconds to to a minute then two three minutes or longer slower pace, was just mixing it up a bit π
There is an app called Jog Run Sprint that lets you design a run like this. Pretty simple but it works. π. Iβve only tried it once so far and agree itβs hard work. Well done.
