10 km Fartlek

I can't blame the weather for today's results. It was fine and not too windy. I was happy to go under 6 min for the first km but my first slower lap was too fast and I struggled to maintain that kind of pace. I was getting slow in kms 8 and 9 but I was determined to come in under 65 min so I started the last sprint 100 m early and managed to achieve that. Overall 1:04:52 for 6:29/km average.

1 km 5:51

2 km 3:10 + 3:07 = 6:17

3 km 3:27 + 3:06 = 6:33

4 km 3:23 + 3:04 = 6:27

5 km 3:23 + 3:03 = 6:26

6 km 3:22 + 3:07 = 6:29

7 km 3:24 + 3:09 = 6:33

8 km 3:37 + 3:11 = 6:48

9 km 3:50+ 3:20 = 7:10

10 km 3:23 + 3:00 = 6:23

Wednesday 19 October - 6 km Training Walk

I have yoga from 11 - 12 on Wednesdays and although I was tempted to walk after that, I decided I'd better go back to work. I ended up going out after work, thinking I might do the 800/200 workout I missed out last week. It was starting to rain when I got outside and there was a cold southerly wind. I didn't fancy the rest periods in this weather and I was struggling to get any speed up so I settled for a 6 km walk with a couple of 10 min pace sessions.

Total distance 6:28, total time 45:42 average pace 7:16
