The Workout:

Cruise Intervals (again – repeat of a few weeks back) courtesy of coach Jack Daniels. Target was 8×1,000m intervals at ~10k pace with 200m recovery. Pax were encouraged to start with a pace that was slightly slower than 10k pace and work it down over the 8 intervals.

This time YHC made sure the warm up didn’t drag on so we had 3 pax finish all 8 repeats (and one honorable mention for 7 + a deposit).
