week 1, day 3

[rmc28]

I didn't run Friday in the end, and the weekend has been very busy. But this evening was my next opportunity to run, so I took it. Next runs this week should be Wed, Fri, Sun. I am planning week by week, and trying to keep one complete rest day each week, which is usually Thursday.

This time I tracked from the beginning so unsurprisingly my pace is a little slower than day 2, but I have another lovely heart rate trace with all 8 running intervals clearly visible. A friend who saw it pointed out the nice recovery this shows.

Overall, week 1 was fine, not especially challenging. I breathed hard, I got sweaty, I definitely needed to stretch afterward, but at no point was I worried about not being able to complete a running interval or the overall workout. I don't love it, I don't hate it, it feels pleasant to have finished.

Next week is 6x 90s running, with 120s in between. So the total run time goes up to 9 minutes from 8 and the overall time to 29 minutes from 28.5.
