Week 4, Day 6
Goal: 5 mile fartlek
Actual: 5 mile fartlek
Got home and thought “Why is it that fartleks are always
slower than normal runs on average pace but always feel much harder?” I’d
forgotten that I’d added another mile onto my normal 4 mile route and was
working out the pace based on a 4 mile run … yup. No hope. But fartlek runs
always DO feel much harder.
I’d taken Steve Marathon Coach’s advice on this one and
instead of changing speeds based on the terrain, I’d changed the paces based on
time. It had meant that I was less tempted to speed up on the downhills and
slow down on the uphills because it was a fartlek and I was “allowed to” slow
down. I hadn’t stuck to a set pattern
but had changed paces on the minutes and half minutes.
