kaz - you are going to do a fartlek session the day after a night on the lash.
You are a better woman than me.

Well when I say 'night on the lash' I'm almost certainly just gonna be on diet coke!! Still paying for the Chrimbo excesses of drink and diet!

I love intervals. What have you got planned for tomorrow. 200s are my faves but then they would be wouldn't they?

I probably need to do more LONG intervals - 1k or 1mile - as I feel it's my speed endurance that's lacking.

You could try the sesh I did on Saturday which was 3 x 1.25m (at c5k pace) with a wee upper body circuit (bicep curl, front raise, tricep kickbacks x 30 x 2) in between.

400m intervals are bloody long enough.

mmm best length for intervals. That's an interesting one. I think it's good to do lots of different ones. Stops you getting bored and challenges the systems I guess.

A 5k race is 93% aerobic - as opposed to a 100m sprint which is only 8% aerobic. A marathon is 99% aerobic. Only part of the story I know but you can see that a 5k still needs loads of endurance as much as pure speed.

Hipps - I'm SURE you know all this!

I have done mile intervals at track sessions with my club. I think I only managed three last time I did them. But they are encouraging because you get to thinking: just need to string three of them together and put a lap type sprint at the end and whoops there goes a billion kilowatt dam. I mean whoops there goes your PB....

sorry - being dim. Do you mean 125 metres or 1.25 k (ie nearly a mile) and what's a front raise? Is all that at a gym?

Do you do much upper body work?

Hippo
have you tried the Cobra for your present problem, that may get to it.

sharkie
ice on the quads has helped.

Running any intervals whatever distance, is good.

No 1.25 miles. Front raise is where you lift the dumbbell straight up in front of your body (straight arm). Do most of my intervals/fartlek at the gym at the mo altho' hopefully once I've joined my trainer's club I'll have access to a track at last.

Just back from the gym. X-trainer and row (sprint intervals - hard work!) and some upper body work. My right arm's a wee bit sore again which is a pain.

Respect due babe! You are a serious girl. I do not like the rower or the xtrainer for that matter. To tell the truth the only thing I like doing in the gym are sprint drills and stretching (where i get to show off) Everything else leaves me a quivering jelly wreck. But I do go.

So are your 1.25 intervals on the treadie then?
Is the groin strain injury still affecting you?

I see from your profile you've been running 5 -10 years. And obviously still improving if your 5k PB was as recent as last September. That's encouraging for the likes of me although I am more than ten years older than you...

What's your running history? I like people's stories.

sharkie i'll be doing 8 x 200metres, then i'll alternate between 200s and 400s each week
