Back on the dreadmill tonight for another VO2 max interval run -- 5 X 600 at 6:30 pace (a tiny bit faster than usual). Run went well once the left hammy decided to loosen up, aided by a stretch break at 2 miles. The rest interval was one lap at about 8:30 pace, or a smidge over two minutes. Warmed up for 4.5, cooled off got 2600m after the last interval. Pretty pleased with it, and it seemed to be a bit easier than previous VO2 runs. Whether that's because the legs have had a little chance to recover, or because I am actually getting stronger, remains to be seen, but I think it does indicate improvement. Sure was quite a bit easier than the first one of these I did in this cycle, somewhere around March 1. |
