I always find Fartlek a bit easier than a normal Tuesday Speed session and a bit of a cop out as you can really tailor the session to how you feel. Tonight was no exception but was still a very good fun run. The group was quite big and with Ali not appearing, Alex still not looking back to full fitness and Stephen not making it, I was the fastest runner. Today's fartlek had everyone having a shot of picking the pace and the distance or time of the hard run. Although this would normally make it easier for me there is still a few of the slower runners that can go at quite a fast pace on the shorter distances and so it was a good beneficial session for me. The cold is definitely affecting my legs. They felt stiff at about the 3/4 mark even although I felt warm enough. I really need to bite the bullet and buy a pair of running tights. OMG!
