Hill Interval Training: 2 Sets by 1 K @ 4:00/K with One-Minute Rest

Oct. 26, 2018.
3 K Jog: 19:08.04
Rest: 52.32
1 K Fast Run: 3:55.97
Rest: 1:00.08
1 K Fast Run: 3:46.13
Rest: 48.11
3 K Jog: 19:23.11
Total 8 K: 48:53.76

I did intervals for the first time after Aqua Line Marathon 2018. I did two fast runs with the target lap of 4:00/K. I consider this as the pace required for me to beat my own PR for 10 K. Also, I did them on a hilly course, because the 10 K race I'm running next month has a hilly course. In both of the fast runs tonight I finished well under the target time. But I was completely out of breath after the second one, and couldn't go on any more. If I want to beat my PR, I need to do it at least 8 more! Even if I did it ten laps, that would not be equal to the race itself, because in the real race, there is no rest between sets. How would I be able to do ten, when I'm already completely burned out after two? Well, the longest journey starts with a single step. Tonight I only did two. But next time, I'll make it three or more.
