HESKETH PARK RUNAROUND

HESKETH PARK
The need for speed!

Strong winds had me heading for the shelter of the trees in Hesketh park, the twisting tree lined route and short steep hills made for an interesting interval session.
I decided to try Mike Gratton's 10 k program and see how it goes!
Todays session called for 8 x 2 mins at 10k pace with 2 mins easy, I some how read it wrong and only took a minutes recovery and also counted my efforts incorrectly finish with 9 intervals!
I was hoping for 35 minute 10k pace but with the marathon still in my legs I lacked a bit of zip, but at least the last effort was the fastest, basically I just kept running different paths, uphill, downhill and any place that took my fancy!
