Fartlek

A bit of variation today, instead of the usual steady run today was Fartlek session, the only problems where the fartlek part was 5 miles long and had another 5 miles in warm-up and warm-down. I have come to the very firm conclusion that I hate fartlek, I always run too fast and exhaust myself early and regret it for the rest of the run.

On reflection I actually was lucky my Sometimes Training Partner had been to a talk about marathon training and wanted to put some of the ideas to the test like 3 * 2mile with 2 min recoveries. I had to good sense to say no to that idea! Long run tomorrow then I have a rest week - scaled down mileage and at a slower pace looking forward to that.
