Only two runs this week as I had to work all day Wednesday AND Thursday (I KNOW!) which meant I could only fit in runs on Tuesday and Friday, and I'm not visiting Mr park run tomo (because I ran today), so I thought I may as well post this now.
I went for two interval sessions this week, one set of speed intervals around my local park and one of hills on the treadmill.
I track most of my runs on Map my Run, and upload my walking/ running totals via my alt account (
Weekly running summary:
- Total number of runs - 2
- Total KMs run - 11 KM
TUesday's Run - 5K speed intervals
I used my local park for the intervals, with the funny two circuits, one of which as a hilly section:
I did three outer hilly intervals and then three flat shorter inner intervals:
And the mirror heart rate:
I really like this park for intervals, it's just that bit different to the track, and it's occurred to me that I could do two intervals round the long circuit rather than one - one flat section, one hill section, it could work very nicely!
Friday's RUN - TREADMILL HILL INTERVALS
I did 6.5Ks in total, 32 minutes, because then the tracker sections on the treadmill are 2 minutes each. I did
- 4 mins warm up at 1 degree incline 12 - 13 KPH
- I then lowered the speed to 11.5 KPH and did two four minute hill intervals with a 2 min break, first maxing out at 7 degrees, the second maxing out at 9 degrees.
- Then I did a 6 minute hill interval, coming down to 10KPH and maxing out at 11 degrees
- Finally I did a 2 min extended sprint for 14-15 KPH
Just what I needed!
Other WOrk-outs
I also managed a circuit session Sunday and a circuit and spin class Monday.
All in all, not bad, I worked out every day I didn't have full time work!
Next week's plans
I'm all about the running next week: I think a couple more interval sessions, maybe even two fast, and then . a good couple day's rest before smashing the park run on Saturday!
