Today all systems were still go at launch time, as they were yesterday, and the session went well. The session was a 4x2K R5:00. Target pace was 1:58.1 for the first 3 intervals and a bit faster but I did not, as Pete Marston says, go “as fast as you can go” on the last one. I held back, deliberately, so as to raise the target pace more gradually from one cycle to the next.
The resulting average pace was 1:57.5 and that will be the target pace for the first 3 intervals of this session in the next cycle. Gradual is good.
Happy trails to you.
