Thanks coach, I can report that this mornings session was much better. The fatigue was gone and I got through it with little trouble.
1st K I really did feel pretty good and probably went out too hard ran 4:29 @ 151BPM held my stride well and glided through to the finnish.
2nd K definately paid the price of running too hard in the 1st K, breathing fairly heavily at 500m and felt tiredness in my legs. Ran it in 5'13 with my average BP at 155 but wasnt overly disapointed as I realised it was due to the 1st km run too hard. Did feel slight slump in my shoulders through the middle.
3rd K went out moderately with the full intention of finishing faster which was achieved. Was super attentive on form and using my arms to find and maintain a good rythym over the last 400m. Ran 4:46 at around 154BPM and felt pretty good at the finnish.
The session overall was far better than anticipated particularly after Saturdays parkrun and Mondays 12K. I was quite happy with my form and felt that I got through the session for the most part holding good posture. The big and obvious realization was that I do need to run the 1st rep more conservatively next week to provide a more evenly timed session overall.
I have noticed that I am achieving my relative resting HR of around 100BPM between intervals slightly quicker than when I started doing these sessions.
Much better today.
Thanks for the chat.
