The proximity of the running machine makes it pretty tempting to use, even on days when I could easily run outside. But it is unlikely that I would venture out for only half an hour and if I did I would have to run around the local roads.
Today I paused in the work I was doing, ran, eat lunch, showered and was back at my desk pretty much in an hour… well okay, just over an hour then. But I did start working at about 6.30am this morning!
So my aim was to replicate the intervals of Wednesday, but increase the speed a little. In 30 minutes I managed 3.6 miles… 7.2mph.
According to Kim, these short interval sessions, mixed in with my normal runs, are a sure-fire way to build up the speed necessary to run a three and a half hour time in Brighton… and in my dreams, beat Cliff and Pete.
Of course, what might also help me in this latter regard is the fact that, thanks to the goading of the BIG man, they have entered a 50 mile race a couple of weeks before!
Either way, watch here for more interval training!
