I totally agree, Jacquline...I'd rather get my butt kicked on intervals than slog through a long run, most days anyway. Thanks for the additional workout! In the spirit of having as many options as possible for interval workouts, here are a couple more. But first, I also must comment on how freakin' cool it is to see the rockstars of cycling in our own backyard!!
repeat to reach 3 miles
1/4-mile fast, 1/4-mile EZ
repeat to reach 4 miles
1/4-mile EZ, 1/2-mile fast
increase speed on each "fast"
And for some perspective, when I go "fast" it's about 60-90 seconds per mile faster than my "EZ" pace. The average of my EZ and fast paces turns out to be my race pace. I read somewhere to make the EZ reeeeeeallllly easy and to make the fast reeeeeeallllly fast. Make a big difference, in other words.
happy interval training ladies!
