Coaxed Eights

Good work on the intervals Rob. These kind of efforts will absolutely get you to where you want to be. I guess part of the problem is trying to make them abit more appealing. I used to do intervals around a cricket pitch at lunchtime. And the naked-truth about doing them on your own can be off-putting.

So a big well-done on motivation.

Most people do alot better when they're doing this kind of thing in a group. The Twitten group in Lewes is a case in point. I tend to do intervals only at the running club now. We do mile and half-mile reps on the road. Or 200 - 800 reps on the track. If you can find somebody at your pace then shoulder-to-shoulder running seems to pull you along. It feels like some bizarre law of physics at work.

Good luck with the upcoming race. Hopefully you'll be disciplined with your pace and get the time you want.
