As part of my newfound quest to try some structured running for the first time with a target of a 40 minute 10k, I tried some 2 mile intervals today. Rough plan was to attempt 3 x 2 miles at 10k pace (6:26 min/miles) as per the article @HatBeard linked to
I managed the first one - 2 miles in under 6:26 pace - but it completely destroyed me. Almost threw up at the end and had to sit down. Gave it 10 minutes walking to recover, but could only manage another rep at 7 min/mile pace.
Mixed feelings - happy that I could manage one interval at pace, but to run that pace for twice more the distance feels like a very very big ask.
