Queentown Stadium Run (Part 2)

Today, I ran the same route as shown in this previous post. The only change was doing 5 set of 1.2km around the stadium instead of the previous 4 sets. Totaling a distance of (4 + 5 x 1.2 + 4) = 14 km.

Even with preparation by loading up with carbo and water, this is one challenging run, specially the run back to the start point. I am totally exhausted.

The good news is I am consistent with my timing for the 5 sets, which meets the aim of the interval training in the stadium. The runners have to find their pace so that they have similar timing for each of the 3 rounds that make up the 1.2km.

By knowing how run evenly allows the runner to prepare for long distance run so that they dun tire themselves unnecessary in the beginning of the race.

Thursday run will be a 1o km run around Mt Farber.
