What is a Tempo Run.
It turns out it’s a run you find “comfortably hard” that means every run I have done since I started running has been a tempo run. I think?
Anyway today I did a 3 miler that was hard. A tempo run then.

Holy Crap Intervals
Todays schedule called for 8x400m Intervals. I never do this sort of stuff but i promised i would this year because i know i am lazy runner essentially. These are very hard for me. I was blowing out of my own arse by the 3rd one. So you run 400 meters fast and recover for 400 meters, repeat 8 times.
That red line is about 400 meters and that mound is where the red line is if any of that makes sense then hats off to you.
Roundup
Following a very loose running schedule today called for a very easy 4 miles. This kind of implies that i can change gear and go faster if the schedule says so. At the moment i have one speed and that is slow. Nevertheless it was nice to run slowly because i had to.
This weeks efforts.

A total of 15.80 Miles not bad for a fat bloater.
Hill Reps and Pain
Yesterday evening i set off with the intention of having a really good hill session in the spirit of trying to diversify the type of running sessions i do. The hill is about 250 meters long and when i got there i stood at the bottom with gritted teeth and determination saying to myself “right! 10 of these” 5 reps later i was on my way home with my tail between my legs. Lets give that another go in a week or so.
Had to work this morning so when i got back i went for a 3 miler down the beech. Windy.
