The Rundown Intervals

Spring is here .... almost. Hoorah!

Up and out by 6:15am this morning. Yesterday's early morning outing inspired by Roxdog had me setting an early morning alarm.

Although still dark it was definitely warmer with a lovely cooling breeze. I am actually quite thrilled that early morning runs are almost upon us once again.

These NRC intervals were both tough as well as rewarding. Tough in that I felt really challenged by the 12 intervals at Mile and 5k pace and rewarded in that I am learning the importance of the recovery periods. Also the fact I knocked out almost 6k without realising it 🤣.

It was lovely to be out so early sgain Everything fresh for a new day.

A note of caution to myself though - don't run over the dark field without any lights again !!!!. A number of times I was nearly caught out by unexpected undulations.

Another great run.

Spring is nearly here folks 😍🤗🏃🏃‍♀️🌞

The joy of an early morning run! Sets us up for the day! I have no bad effects from yesterday's 9k thank goodness. I'm up for more early morning runs, feels very good.Well done for those intervals!

Yes, I love the early ones too Roxdog.

I hope my forthcoming 10k long session is as good as your wonderful run yesterday.

I somehow doubt it but, if I pace it ok then hopefully I can just settle in to it and enjoy. We shall see ......

The word in itself sounds dangerous: undulations! Good run, but indeed, maybe a light or less undulating-road would be better 😜

You are spot on BS.

Although I didn't plan to run the route I did. It just sort of happened as if by magic 🤣😁

I saw crocuses starting to grow this morning. Spring will be here soon! 🌼
