Have to recognize that, before the training, I did not feel so well today...
I did not sleep properly last night (maybe so much time wasted on trading :-), had as well a light stomach ache and I couldn't have my usual breakfast this morning...so, I was not expecting a good performance before the start of the workout...but, I get surprised how well it has gone at the end!
What has been the Running "menu" today?
- Starter: 3Km of Warming-Up Run + Skippings + 3 Progressive 80m sprints.
- Main Dish: 2 x 2000 m resting 2', Target Time per interval: 7'05"
- 4' of rest.
- Second Dish: 4 x 500m recovering 50" between intervals, Target Time per interval: 99"
- as a "dessert": Cooling-Down Run + Stretching

2000m: 7'05''
2000m: 7'04''
500m: 1'38.9''
500m: 1'38.9''

As a Summary of the running session today:

Not bad at all!!!
*FYI and Safety: Please, do not try to repeat this workout exactly as I did if you are not able at least to run faster than 39' on a competitive 10K race. Feel free here to ask me about how to do it and I will try to answer you depending on your current performance and goal expectations.
Running is a healthy activity and gives you lots of satisfactions and energy but first things first and your physical integrity must be your main priority.
