c25kI was reasonably pleased with my first attempt at week 1, so I decided I could probably stretch myself by adding an extra couple of intervals (10 intervals / 25 minutes instead of the official 8 intervals / 20 minutes). Conditions were not exactly pleasant; it's boiling hot, and the pollen counts are off the charts.
But I did in fact manage 10 intervals, and my pace wasn't any slower than when I was only doing 8. 8' /km overall. My pacing wasn't spot on; I went a bit too fast for the first couple of intervals, and was starting to drag a bit by the end, but nothing terrible. I think I'll go for 12 intervals / 30 minutes next time, so that moving to the 90 second intervals in week 2 feels like a step down rather than a step up.
