A 10 x 400M reps session for Lynsey tonight, no messing about... Paced by me and a fast blast on the final rep. #fastrunner #speedworkout #400mrepeats #marathoncoach #marathontraining #hatherletes #onetoonecoaching (at Hatherley, Cheltenham) https://www.instagram.com/p/B7rFXcCpDkF/?igshid=1q5h8b0zwfwg1

Well, after feeling dreadful yesterday, I had a speed session with a client today, which has left me feeling much chipper! I had said I’d sit on the sideline with a whistle, but realised my legs felt quite fresh. Only 5 reps as we did an intro to Kenyan Hills afterwards ⛰ I thought my legs would feel awful, but they seemed great, and I really enjoyed running fast 😊 Just goes to show that bad runs pave the way for better ones! VO2 max highest it’s been since injury, and hoping I’ll be back to 60 soon 🤞 Life in the old dog yet 😂 #runnersofinstagram #londonmarathon #londonmarathon2018 #speedtraining #runnerscommunity #running #runningmum #runninginspiration #womensrunningcommunity #garmin #400mrepeats

My plan for Thursday was to run some sort of 10k, either at easy pace or a bit faster. I thought I was done with interval training and speedwork after Tuesday’s km repeats. In the afternoon however, my running friend called and persuaded me to run 400m repeats. I find this a most painful type of training and I haven’t been well enough to train like that since August. So it was time to face it again!!!! With my friend’s help who kept pace I ran 8x400 with 90’ rest. 3 of them at 1.39’, 3 at 1.37’, 1 at 1.36’ and the last one at 1.35’. I was slow compared to before as expected and didn’t feel I was a pretty sight. But it was a decent effort all things considering, including the high winds that turned into a huge thunderstorm, thankfully after leaving the track. (at Vári, Greece)
