My highly specialised run training seems to be paying off as I seem to be getting faster and stronger. So, what’s the secret? Well, I do very little running at all and each time I go out I seem to improve.<\/p>\n
My latest run was an interval session, building on the last time I did about two months ago<\/a>. As promised then, I added an extra interval on today so my entire session was:<\/p>\n\n5 min warm up (no Target Pace \/ \u00a0Heart Rate)<\/li>\nMain Set: 5x\n\n0.3 miles Hard \u00a0– Target pace of 9.3 – 9.6 mph (6:15 – 6:30 mins \/ mile)<\/li>\n3 mins Recovery – No target<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\nFollowed by 3 \u00a0minute cool down<\/li>\n<\/ul>\nIt all went well, I completed the workout and even felt good. It was quite hard at times but my pace was good and if anything it was a little too fast with the third hard interval actually being at an average pace of 6:02 mins \/mile.<\/p>\nGood stuff! I’ll do a couple more of those before upping it to 7 intervals.<\/p>\n<\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>My highly specialised run training seems to be paying off as I seem to be getting faster and stronger.
