6 km Fartlek

The forecast was for rain today and I wasn't looking forward to a hard session in the wet. Luckily it was cool and sunny with a reasonably strong southerly wind. I did a 1 km warm up before starting the sprint but struggled to keep the pace up for the second 500 m of the first lap. My second lap was actually faster than my first. When I relaxed on the slower lap and thought more about my technique I went almost as fast as during the sprint. I made an effort to slow down a bit more on the slower lap to try and ensure I could go the whole 6 km. I was a little slower on the last 2 km but pleased with my session overall.

My splits:

6:12

3:09 + 2:58 = 6:07

3:21 + 2:55 = 6:16

3:16 + 2:58 = 6:14

3:22 + 3:05 = 6:27

3:24 + 2:58 = 6:22

Average speed 6:16

Average HR 150 bpm
