Training Run 35

Tonight's training session saw myself and the Frontrunners working on our speed.  This consisted of four sets of repetitions - the first and second sets were seven lots of 30 seconds running at high speed pace, followed by 30 seconds active recovery, while the third and fourth sets involved the same but with 20 seconds high speed and 20 seconds active recovery.  I usually find training sessions challenging but this one really was very hard work, I am not used to working at such high speed over such periods of time.  The weather was dry and warm as it has been for a while now and I think I might have found it easier in the cold and the rain!  I do feel that the speed work is helping me to improve my technique though, and with three more half marathons this year I need to keep the training up.
