Gordon Bennett! That was REALLY difficult!!! Memo to self: don’t have a mug of tea an hour before running, unless you want to feel sick when running. 🤢

I am amazed that I managed to complete this. There are only six reps of the interval, but boy, was it a killer. I had to run to recover, not walk, which was cruel! My running companion is an accomplished runner, and it was a breeze for her! 🙄 However, she was fantastic at encouraging me, for which I was truly grateful.

Due to the nature of this podcast, I didn’t cover much ground, as it’s quite a short one, so I’ll have to wait until I’ve completed this month’s challenge before I do it again, as I need to rack up the miles. I’ll have to do the other two instead, as they last longer, thus allowing me to cover more distance. What a shame! 🤣

Go you... Speed is my favourite.. along side Stamina... Speed is great when you are short of time..or you want a quick burst in a longer run!

Well done you... I am using Speed tomorrow for some interval training in my HM plan... I'll take you with me if you like :)

I swear I replied to this...I must be going barmy...

I tried these just after graduation and hated them, especially the music lol.

I may give them another go now with my hm training (good idea of)

The music is a bit naff, I have to say, but very helpful for setting the pace.
