Thursday night is interval night! With only ten days remaining before the first race in my 2018-2019 race season, I did 5 K (4:30/K)+ 1 K (4:30/K) intervals for the first time in my life. I was so nervous before I did it that I felt my stomach contract a little at a mere prospect of doing this feat (to me at least). But once I started off, I was so focused on completing the mission that all my anxiety immediately evaporated. I finished running 5 K well under the original target of 22:30.00. And I finished the last K under 4:00.00. Overall, it was an awesome practice run that helped me build confidence for the race.
Tomorrow I may go for a slow jog if I'm in a mood. If I feel fatigued, I will skip training, and recharge my body's batteries for a long pace run on the weekend.
The details of the training tonight are shown below:
Warm Up 3.5 K: 21:24.82
Walk & Rest: 5:22.38
