Training has been going well and I’ve been making slow but steady progress. At least I had been until I attempted some interval training yesterday. On Saturday I’d improved on my best Parkrun time by a colossal 4 seconds and was feeling that all was well with the world.
An interval target pace of 07:23 min/mile was always going to be challenging while running on sand, with a stiff breeze and what passes for a hot day in South Shields. But I didn’t realise just how far off the mark I was going to be. The mind was willing but my legs just wouldn’t go any faster. The next training session in my diary is a 13 miler; I think I’d better take a few days off before then.
