Just Do It!
On recommendation of my old Brit friend Kate (who is now a US citzen!) Mike and I headed to Nike town to their Tuesday night speed session.
When I arrived their were so many pacers with clipboards just waiting to say hi and get you in a speed group!
Basically they determined a running group for you based on your current mile pace/5km race. You then got given a colourcoded band so you knew who your pacer was!
There was so many fit looking people it was a bit daunting! However the team were uber friendly and encouraging and you even had the opportunity to test out the nike shoes for your run! - See my pic of the word 'sock' shoes!
I think I'm more of a Adidas gal 🏃
All the runs took place on the lakefront. We jogged out there from the store and began some simple but useful warm up drills.
Then we did;
1600, rest 90secs.
1400, rest 90secs.
800, rest 60.
600,
400,
200.
I started the session debating just sneaking back to the condo but ended it feeling glad I'd accomplished it.
Not sure my calves agree.
