Easy going Thursday
September 2 2004
Time 5:30pm
Place MAA gym with Dorys
Group: Thursday easy run group
People All girls and me
Weather 15 C humidity 3/10
Path: gym-1km loop and back
On the menu: 2 laps of the 1km loop break and repeat
I was running 4:54 and 4:48
Second segment: same as first but the twist was that we were to deliberate slow down on the hill segment of the run.
I slowed down to talk to Louise who had just completed her first half in Quebec city. 5:16 and 5:00
The trick to the second half is that if you slow down during the hill segment, you more than make up for in in the rest of the loop as you'll be able to speed up. If you do not conserve energy during the hill segment, you'll be paying for it during the remainder of the loop.
In all fairness after yesterday's hard work out, this felt easier by comparison.
Concerns: Shin as per usual.

That sounds like an excellent idea (slowing down on the second interval). The theory is always there but usually you need to experience it to believe it!
