Intervals By Moonlight- 2 x 2K.
THURSDAY 14/7/05, 6PM, 10K, WEEK TO DATE 35.5K, 5.5 HOURS SLEEP
Missed an early run due to a late night watching Le Tour and was too busy at work to run at lunch, finally got out after the sun had set, figured I might as well run up to Dunbar and see if it was possible to do speedwork in the dark on the unlit track.
Surprise, the moonlight and background light made it possible to see the lanes, so by moonlight I belted out 2 x 2K barefoot.
2.7K run to the track as warmup in 13.11 (4.53 min/km), then
97
95
98 (hit lap button too late, probably 95 really)
90 (as you can see)
93
= 7.55
3 minutes jog recovery, then
96
96
93
91
90
= 7.47
Ran back to work in 12.45 (4.43 pace)
Clear and about 12 degrees. The pleasing thing was that this workout was not taxing at all- legs didn't feel thrashed, nor were the lungs burning. Oh, plus the poetic aspect of speedwork in the moonlight, that was something a bit special.
