Intervals

[Saartjie]

Took Ripcurlrana71 's suggestion from a while back and used wk1r1 as an interval session running flat out on the run sections and slow jog on walk sections. Was really good fun and made the time pass quickly. Only 20 mins running time but sweating like a sweaty thing by the end! And it was nice hearing old MJ's dulcet tones 😊🏃‍♀️

How things progress. I barely managed that first run and was determined not to be beaten. And now we’re looking at it as an opportunity to jog/sprint!

Well done, do you know how far you travelled?

[Saartjie Graduate in reply to Jay66UK]

About 2.8k so not far. Tbh could probably have been ok to jog the warm up and cool down for extra time but wanted a quick run anyway.

[Jay66UK Graduate in reply to Saartjie]

Hmm and I’m slower than you. And have to do a 2.5k tomorrow...

[Saartjie Graduate in reply to Jay66UK]

You'll be fine. It's only your usual half way point!

[Jay66UK Graduate in reply to Saartjie]

Seriously considering doing intervals. I can not believe this. What have you people done to me?!

[Saartjie Graduate in reply to Jay66UK]

Haha! I blame Alka 😂

Good effort! I’m hoping to try the speed podcast this week, but this idea sounds good too. 😃❤️

[Saartjie Graduate in reply to mountaindreamer]

Am scared of that podcast after what everyone has said!

[mountaindreamer Graduate in reply to Saartjie]

Have to admit I’m waiting to get over a cold before trying it... Think I need to be feeling fit before giving that one a go from the comments!! 😂

[Saartjie Graduate in reply to mountaindreamer]

You could try the above one...was short enough to be fun 😊

[Crittermad Graduate in reply to Saartjie]

I think I’m going to try that next! Sold!!

[Saartjie Graduate in reply to Crittermad]

Much easier than running 5k I promise!

[Fabulous450 Graduate]

Yaaaay....back with our MJ! Well done you! ❤️

[David_G]

That sounds like a great idea! I think I’ll have a go myself a bit later on 😀🙂👍

[_SimonT_ Graduate]

Sounds exhausting! Not sure I could manage that. Well done!

[Saartjie Graduate in reply to _SimonT_]

Course you could...you're super speedy anyway. You're only pushing the speed for 1 minute and that doesn't feel anywhere near as long as in week one!

[_SimonT_ Graduate in reply to Saartjie]

I charged for a segment in Strava tonight and that was 1min 18 secs. Not sure I could have gone again after a minute!

[Saartjie Graduate in reply to _SimonT_]

The rest is 90s so it's a bit longer to recover...

[Ripcurlrana71]

Hard work right?? But yes does throw another way in for doing intervals! Brilliant!! 💪🏼💪🏼

[QueenTea Graduate]

That is such a good idea - will remember that for when I can finally run again. I was always a fan of Laura - might try MJ next time around. ☺

[southlundon Graduate]

This is a great idea!

Another thing learnt. I'll give it a go. 👍
