Weekly ish Running update...

I managed four runs in the last week, sticking to my hard-easy pattern, this time choosing to define my long run as easy as it was only 7K, but that felt like enough!

I am pretty happy with this:

Last Friday - Hereford Mixed Intervals

I just ran the intervals that felt natural with the terrain and they were these:

1K
800M
500M
300M
400M

Or something like that!

I didn't go too hard, just stuck at a reasonable pace for all of them, just over 4.00 for the 400s and slightly slower for the longer intervals.

Last Sunday - 'Long' Run

I headed out around Crystal Palace, nice and slow and easy, called it a day at around 7K, I just could feel this was enough for today, enjoyable!

This Tuesday - London 400 intervals

I felt OK for these - not super super up for it, but I got some good times in stats here:

This Thursday - London easy 6K

This was MOST enjoyable, just a slow pootle around the local park and a coffee after...

Final thoughts...

You know this is what running is about... next it's the Park Run, that'll be my 'hard tempo' run - then easy 6K after that, then repeat the above, this is a nice pattern!

This feels like it's the right balance!
