10 Mins CD @ Easy Pace (RPE: 3)

A tough 5k session and the challenge is to see if you can hold your 5k pace in the 2nd 8 min rep when the legs are tired and you’re feeling fatigued.

I think you’d benefit from the Tuesday evenings from time to time if you can make it?

FEEDBACK

ENJOYMENT

RPE

🙄 Just a fraction slow

PACE

Yes enjoyed this I think. Forgot to check my target pace beforehand so a little fast first time and a little too slow the second. I was worried I wouldn’t complete it at all. I did miss 20 secs off the 60 seconds block faffing with my watch.

Really well done Jo. This is a tough session and you did great to complete it. I think as these get a bit more frequent you’ll find the fitness improves and they should feel a little bit easier. I think as you said, a little quick in the first 8 min rep, a little behind at the end, but pacing was still very good. It’s also important to remember your own goals are the longer distance stuff. So whilst these are an important part of your training is not as essential that your hitting your paces than say someone looking to run a 5k PB. So with that in mind, don’t fret too much if you are a little off pace.
