Today’s run was split up into the following: 15 minute easy run, 20 minute faster run, 15 minute easy run. I like doing intervals like this for a few reasons. Namely, the 15 minute easy runs are a blessing when your legs are exhausted from running all week. Secondly, I feel like a badass when running a sub 9 minute mile (I know that doesn’t sound very fast to some people, but for me its quick!). Lastly, I really enjoy pushing myself for those 20 minutes and then getting rewarded with a long cool down run.
