Intervals at Russell Square

A return to the original running venue, Russell Square tonight, but this time it was different. It was interval training time. The harsh reality of our task was made abundantly clear as we confidently strode onto the Square and proceeded to to a nice 10min run as a lead into the intervals. After this 10min run we began with a 3min burst of hard running - running as hard as you can. This mean that Jess and I had to run separately for 3min due to a difference in the length of our legs. The first run was a wake up call, and flashbacks to our first running sessions and the breathlessness came flooding into the mind. A 3min jog to recover proved a step too far and after the next period of 3min we decided to walk to recover (like the good ol' days). The next 2 intervals of 3min hard runs were like hell, but we survived and did a lazy 10min run to calm the heart rate and make our way home for a welcome stretch. Upon arriving home we had a letter waiting for us with our numbers for the Watford half marathon and a booklet with details of the run... few too many hills me thinks! Anyway, we're looking forward to it and with the 'Meet the Experts' conference this weekend, it's to infinity and beyond!! Thanks to everyone who has sponsored us thus far, to those who haven't, hop to it :) B
