I skipped doing intervals last weekend because we were enjoying the Georgia coast on Jekyll Island. So this week it was hard to get back in it.
Even when I started the first two intervals I wasn't sure I would finish them. But I got a second wind and things got easier. On the very last one, a cyclist passed and I was able to pace off of the bike that was pretty far ahead. Even so I was surprised with the result -- a pace that was the equivalent of a 6:46/mile.
In the end, I was glad that I did the workout! Intervals were (mile pace equivalent): (7:11/7:31/7:15/7:11/6:46).
