After 3 introduction training weeks it was time to get down to business and start on week one of Marius's marathon plan.
Location Hillside 5K loop
Today called for 4 x 3 mins at level 4 [5.44 10k pace] with 1.30 min active recoveries at level 3 [ Marathon pace].
I found it hard going, hopefully my fitness will return in the weeks to come!
average pace for the session worked out at 6.00 pace.
Finished with 5 x Smart strides
