Intervals = fun!

Yes,  I know that was how I titled my last intervals post, but they really are fun! I had a great time. My workout was two miles easy, 5x 30 secs hard followed by two minutes easy, and then a one mile cool down. Here's how it broke down:


Lap    time     dist    pace     avg HR
1       22:31   2.00   11:16   189
2       0:30     326'   8:11     188
3       2:00    0.19    10:44   178
4       0:32     336'   8:18     178
5       2:00    0.18    10:53   183
6       0:30    326'    8:11     181
7       2:00    0.17    11:36   165
8       0:30    342'    7:47     169
9       2:03    0.19    11:00   177
10     0:30    330'     8:19    179
11     2:01    0.18     11:16  177
12     12:53  1.16     11:05  163

Did you see that?! A 7:47 pace! Granted, it was only for 30 seconds, but I don't think I've ever had an interval that fast. I must be improving!

The weather was gorgeous again this morning. I could really get used to this.

Totals for the day are 4.38 miles in 48:00 for an average pace of 10:58 and an average HR of 179.

I saw this on the run today and it struck me as odd. What an interesting combo.
