So glad I dragged myself outta bed for intervals this morn. I’ve a packed day ahead and I knew a good early run would set the right tone for the rest of the day. Managed 3x 1k on 1.45 rest, 3x 800m on 1.30 rest, sandwiched between a warm up and cool down. A sure sign I’ve gotten fitter — I ran as fast as before, with less effort, and on less rest. That’s the thing about training… to make yourself work harder you can either increase the number of reps (eg. from 3x 1k to 5x 1k) or decrease the rest in between reps. I think I used to rest 2.30 between sets and now it’s 1.30. A minute will be my next target…
Anyway, while I sip on my Nespresso latte, I’m realy lovin’ Damo’s brother’s gig in Dublin. Check it out…. I think he’s gonna be famous. He’s 17! I think. I mean, I’m not a fan of Lady Gaga… but after listening to his version (see third video), I’m sold.
