Training Run 28

The Wednesday before the London Marathon (which I'm not running) and the coaching team had organised a session on sprinting.  I like sprinting a lot, but it's not something I use very often when running because I am usually attempting to conserve my energy over a greater distance.  Tonight we did nine reps of sprinting for 30 seconds, with 30 second cool down periods between each rep.  This got steadily more challenging as time progressed, and I didn't help myself by setting off way too quickly for the first rep.  By the end of the ninth rep I was physically exhausted, but very pleased that I had been able to complete this challenging session.  I think it shows how much I have improved since I started running intensely again in November last year that I was even able to complete this, as I know I would have found it far too challenging to even attempt it previously.
