Went out on the cycleway last night to do Ewens suggested interval session last night.I thought that i couldnt sustain the suggested 3:40 pace for all the sets so instead i would try 4:00 (wimp)or just do the best i could.Had a bit of a muck up with the last 2 sets and ran short for one and compensated by running longer for the last one.

What are your thoughts on this session?
About Me
- R2B
- People can't understand why a man runs. They don't see any sport in it. Argue it lacks the sight and thrill of body contact. Yet, the conflict is there, more raw and challenging than any man versus man competition. For in running it is man against himself, the cruelest of opponents. The other runners are not the real enemies. His adversary lies within him, in his ability, with brain and heart to master himself and his emotions.

ewen's session looks hard but seems like you coped? how was your recovery?
Its sounds more interesting than doing straight 500m reps.
I was wondering about the recovery too. And is the aim to do them all at the same pace?
I think it is hard to comment on this session without knowing were it fits in the grand plan. What is your current goal.
Given your goal and time frame , then I would say that is a very good session to be doing.
For a first attempt that was pretty good R2B. It looks like 3:45/k would be a good goal for a while. In a few weeks you'll be able to do them all at that pace then pick it up a bit.
Tesso, the idea of running the same pace for this session is to have the legs 'remember' one particular pace and to get out of the habit of 'sprinting' the short reps.
