With a 5K coming up next weekend, Coach Hubs suggested some shorter repeats at 5K pace. I decided to set out for 10 x 500 metres at somewhere between my current 5K PR pace and goal 5K PR pace.
Target: 500m @ 2:12 - 2:15

It's tough running short intervals outside of a treadmill/track. I had to constantly check my Garmin and slightly over-ran the 500m on almost every single one. BUT the workout is a definite success!
Just as I was settling back down at my desk after doing my best to freshen up, one of my co-workers came around the corner, took one look at me and said, "What the heck happened to you?"
INTERVALS, that's what!
Maybe I should have used more powder...

Great job on those intervals! Haha at maybe you should have used more powder:)
Haha!!! Nice job on the intervals!
Yeah, they really take it out of anyone! Great job fitting those in, speedy (although I still struggle with the meter vs. mile thing.
LOL about the comment from your co-worker! Great job!
Great job with those speedy intervals! Your post last week pushed me to do intervals but they weren't nearly that speedy!
hahaha that cracked me up :)
AWESOME job on the intervals!
You are amazing- I've been looking at the grim weather outside my office allllll day and hating it.
that's awesome!! great job getting out there during the day!
Ha, that's funny! Nice job on the intervals!
ahaha I was so hoping for a pic.
Ha!! So funny!! I'm sure my co-worker really appreciate that I can shut my office door so they can't smell me after a run....
It will all be worth it when you have that PR in the bag!
ha!! i love your lunchtime workouts - nothing like a Time crunch to get those legs movin'! who cares if you're clean for the afternoon..?? ;)
Great workout! I can't believe you get that done on your lunch break. Awesome!
Cracked me up! Powder! heehee
LOL! Great job!
LOL! That is awesome! Good job on the run! I bet you look fine.
Too funny! Awesome job on another successful Tuesday interval session!
Ha!
You should've replied: "I was out running! What the heck did NOT happen to you?"
damn, ur speedy!! thats some good intervals!!! i stole ur tuesday workout and did some intervals of my own! :)
haha - that is the kind of attention I love! :) Great job!
Excellent job!!
That's how I usually run intervals since I don't have a track nearby me. But, luckily, I work from home so no one usually sees me afterwards :-)
hahahahaha!!!!! i love it :) so totally chuckling to myself over here :)
way to go with those 500m!!!!! lotta repeats lotta effort there. just that much more than 400s- gahh! did you notice the xtra 100 m?
Haha! That's a great story! You go girl!
What a comment! It's as bad as , "You look tired. Are you okay?" Well, I was 5 seconds ago.
Good job on the intervals.
Haha...that is so funny!! Next time you should post and "after" pic. :)
I love that you workout during lunch break. I don't really have that option because of my ankles but you do inspire me to walk instead of drive :D
i would rather do intervals than look good. kudos
Ahahahah - tactful!
I remember returning to work from a lunch time run with a red face even after a shower when I worked at my office!!! Good for you though!!
Makes me want to get my butt in shape!
You own those lunch intervals!
Pefectly paced!
Great job on the 500m. I dont know what I am going to do when I run outside again for intervals. Its going to be tough and I dont have a garmin!
Nice job...this would so be the kind of comments directed at me if I had done this at work. I look like death after my intervals/tempos.
HAHAHAHA! Love the powder comment! Way to go on those intervals :)
That's true commitment - when you run on your lunch hour - and a hard workout such as intervals to boot!!
Way to go! ;-)
I am a complete sweaty mess after running, so there is only the option of a shower if I'm not going to look like someone ran over me :)
I LOVE IT!!! If I did that where I work the guys would just die. They are not about all of this running and riding stuff at all. :)))
lol funny
LOL...... You must have been looking goooooooooood!
Too funny! Once again, I'm so glad I work from home!!
lol. what a compliment? maybe? :) the guys i work with would not hold back at telling me how crappy i look!
OMG that is hilarious! I see a sitcom in your future!
