Robert Song's Running

I'm over 50 and been running off and on since 1968. I have run everything from 800m to 10k on the track, to half marathons (PB 1:21 Brisbane 1993) and marathons (PB 2:53 Gold Coast 1985).

Tuesday - Intervals

8.2k 49:23. HR Avg 145 Max 175
Course: MacQuarie St.
Start Time: 5:05 pm Temp 22C.
Session Type: One K Intervals

Tonight was a set of five hard efforts along the path by the river parallel to MacQuarie Street. This is just 25m short of one kilometer. I ran gently to the end of the path to warm up and did some stretching. I ran from one end to the other, had 3 minutes recovery and then ran back etc . This worked out as having 1, 3 and 5 th repeat with a tail wind and 2 and 4 into the wind.

1. 3:52 (HR avg 158 / Max 168)
2. 3:51 (162/171)
3. 3:44 (167/175)
4. 3:59 (167/174)
5. 3:51 (166/173)

It is strangely satisfying working that hard and I am looking forward to improving on those times in the next few weeks.
