Bork, bork, bork!

Tonight’s fartlek speed session was great and really felt like an achievement. Whilst the initial warm up is always tough, the rhythm once you’re there is an incredible feeling and for the remaining portion, I was comfortably running at 11.5km/h as a race pace, not a sprinting speed. The gains are coming along nicely and this should do the trick in raising my average race pace.

What will be interesting is trying out a fartlek session on the road and how well that holds up…

I need to work out a way to get my legs warmed up more quickly. Will try very short, quick repeats for 5 minutes to see how that fares.
