Me!!
On the schedule today were some more of those fartlek intervals. Okay, so I am kind of enjoying doing those! It's true!
So here are the details...and I share this with you absolutely NOT to brag...I feel like my running has really improved the past year and if there are any other 37 year old mom's of two with full time careers that think they had their prime way back in the day...they just have not met ME yet!!! The best is yet to come...
The goal here was to run at a faster pace for 2 minutes than my 5km last week. On the edge of control (I love that term....!!) My 5km average pace was 5:32.
#1: 2:14.13 – it was hard to see my watch in the dark and by the time I realized, the two minutes had come up!! average pace 5:19 HR: 154
#2: 2:36.58; 5:27; HR: 158
#3: 2:03.45; 5:23; HR: 154
#4: 2:05.96; 5:23; HR: 156
#5: 2:13.55; 5:08 – wtf? HR: 160 - Justin said I must have been going downhill for this one!
#6: 2:09.48; 5:22; HR: 160
And…I did not count properly and did two extras…ooops…
#7: 2:11.30; 5:42; 159 -and he figured uphill for this one...much slower pace with way high HR
#8: 2:20.17; 5:03; 172 – rock and rolla!! This one signals that is as many as I can do.

Those heart rate numbers have my heart going pitter patter.
Was this outside? Hope you had good footing. Right now, on Calgary sidewalks, walking is about edge of control speed. Those are amazing times, and better yet, you didn't mention the retaste zone.
ok I am confused but i spend most of my time that way. Were you doing distance repeats or time repeats (cause the time was all different)? explain Miss Kelly, to your dumb friend??? All seems fast though eihter way :)
And - no missed run club cause kids had track:) I thought it would be best to not make Alex run 3 times on one day:)
Yes..teh run was outside. The footing wasn't bad. I live in an old area of town with really wide streets and lots of retired people who have lots of time to shovel and bug the city to get the streets cleared
They were time repeats. Supposed to be 2 minutes but I was having a hard time seeing my watch and was fumbling with the light so many of the times were over 2 mins.
oh i see...now i get it....jsut a little slow today - or yesterday.
Way to go Kelly!!!!! :) :)
It's amazing what you can do if don't over-think things and just let 'er rip, eh? Of course, it's much easier to let 'er rip when you are bouncing around outside in the fresh air as opposed to squelching the rip on a tready! :) :) :)
Nice job on the fartleks!! Way to go!!
Hey Kelly - Sounds like the running is going well - keep it up! You sound fast to me!! I am just getting started again so we will see how it goes. Jen tells me you would be up for being my models (you and your men) at some point - that would be great for me, always looking for new talent! How about we connect via email - I will email Jen to send me yours and we can chat. Take Care!
great job rock n rolla queen!!! fartleks are awesome, i love them too.
you rock sista! take that any other 37 yr old moms with two cubs and a full time job that say they don't have time to workout!
