Mixed reps

I did nothing on Monday to recover from the half marathon, and my blisters didn't look too serious, so I went along to the club's mixed reps session intending to take it fairly easy. We ran a 0.93-mile warm-up to the business park on the other side of Maryhill Road and then ran 10 1-minute reps with a 30-second recovery. I timed them as one continuous run, stopping my Garmin for the recovery. I managed to put in a reasonable effort after all and felt nauseous from about halfway. Legs felt quite heavy although I was still managing the same distance on the outbound reps as in April. Max HR was 182.

2.43 miles in 12:10, average pace 5:01/mile, HR 164
HR zones: 2.2%, 1.6%, 26.7%, 64.5%, 4.9%

Afterwards we jogged 0.38 miles back to run 10 minutes of shuttle runs in a car park, just like in April, although I didn't try very hard.

0.67 miles in 3:30, average pace 5:14/mile, HR 138
HR zones: 2.9%, 37.6%, 59.5%, 0%, 0%

Jogged the 0.54 miles back to Garscube Estate afterwards.
