Quite happy that I sustained 10 sec speed over the 20 sec rep, although I know GPS can't 100% be trusted on short reps.

1) 0m - 5(1:24:53/m) 98/100bpm 0.7/1.48mph

Looks good.

I tend to like the idea of coming at things from both sides.

Longer/more reps slower than race pace with short recoveries. Progressively getting faster and shorter.

Shorter reps faster than race pace with longer recoveries. Progressively getting longer/more reps trying to maintain speed.

Interesting NN.

I'm not sure I've ever done reps over 800m, lol.

Anything long will likely be done on road in a fartlek session.

Next time would keep recovery in the 55-65 range.

Did 70, 70, 75, 75, 150, 150 sprints before that.

I wish my heart rate went that high!

If i were you I'd slow the pace on the recoveries but keep it to a minute and crank the pace up a bit on the efforts. Really put the hammer down on the efforts and generate some lactate to force clearance.

If you want to keep it more aerobic the difference between the two 200s should be more like 15secs. So 40/55. More of a roll on/roll off.

When I used to race with a HRM I saw 206, 207 for race ending efforts regularly. I hit 215 at the end of my first ever 800m but wasn't sure it was correct, although it definitely could have been given how I felt. Not sure if my max is still at that level but pretty sure it's still over 200.

Interesting observations, I almost went for 75 sec recovery and cranked up the pace but decided against it.

The lactate clearance idea is interesting. I presume you're suggesting less than 200m jog recovery? May be something I try at some point.

Remember this is my first session for awhile though so feel I don't want to crank up too soon. The plan is currently to switch to sets of 200, 300, 400 and some hybrid sets as we discussed last week when I want to work on lactate stuff (thinking in a month)

I wanted to keep them close to MD pace so wouldn't drop the pace down with that in mind. With the 1500m pace, I think it's still fairly aerobic with 60 secs recovery (fits with Pirie and a Magness rhythm session). 40/55 would work if I want to do something at 5000 pace.

Got something to say?
