3,2,1,2,1 - Well Hard
After a unexpected rest day on Sunday, I was keen to blow the cobwebs away and get in a quality session with the elite group on a Monday. I haven't trained with the lads for 2 weeks as I've had no car to meet up with them so I've gone out on my own, so I was raring to go!
The set was called, 3km, 2km, 1km, 2km, 1km - 2 mins recovery in between each km effort , (98% max thresh hold) km efforts. On my this was a hard one, but I didn't mind, I'd missed this kind of session with the group.
I switched the Garmin to KM auto lapping and the times above include the recovery, I should have push lap on the breaks but I forgot on the first recovery so didn't bother after it. This was a really enjoyable session, hard, but enjoyable. The session started really quick, and my pace was really fast under 4 minute KM efforts, but by the end of the session it dropped 5 minute per KM. I was still working at the same intensity throughout the session and still finished 3rd in the group from start to finish. I maxed out at 181 beats per minute, a high range and one I needed. In the session my heart rate averaged out at 167 BPM but this does included the quick recovery intervals.
This was a longer than normal session, but definitely a quick paced one, probably my last hardcore session before my race on Sunday.
