Running...on thin ice
90 minutes of running on solid ice? Check! Now can we have some spring weather?
As I said, Sportlife has running passes at Skatås on Thursdays so if you are a member at any of their gyms, just drop by. There were about 30 today which was surprising considering that 8:an was covered in ice pretty much all the way around. It wasn't so bad to run since you are just sort of flying over it. So running on ice is way easier than cycling on ice.
The theme was supposed to be fartlek (no jokes, I promise) but it was light jogging for the first. Then they decided to try some intervals but said that they should be steady without mjölksyra. Huh? I thought interval meant 'kör som FAN!' so that you fall over during the last one. It was 2-4-4-2 minutes and it was supposed to be 1 minute rest between. But after the interval we all had to turn around and go back so that the whole group would be together again for the next. So it was a longer break. Using my method, I was 6th fastest in the whole group which felt good. The others at the front were also doing proper intervals.
Then it was more light jogging and I was starting to feel pretty dead so the pass was a success. For 'fun', they threw in a couple of '8 lamppost' intervals where it was sloping a bit up. Oj oj did they feel lovely. And after that it was about 2km downhill back to the start.
Yes, I am in pain. Yes, it was a good pass. Next week's theme is hill intervals. Excellent. But the 'hill' on 8:an was nothing compared to my Partille hills so I should be well prepared.
