Who’s up for this then ?!

I'm going to Tobermory, on the Isle of Mull that day. I'll try and do it on the Saturday or Sunday. I've planned a route that goes from an altitude of 95m up to 350m, and back down again. So I should be able to hold back for a faster last mile.

I tried to follow my Garmin recommended run today, which was a sprint. I started with a 15 minute warm up jog, Then it was nine sets of 10 second sprints, followed by 3 minute rests. It ended with a ten minute warm down.

Are you supposed to break into the sprints and then return to your jog, or are you supposed to rest between the sprints? In practice, I did the sprints, and walked in between them to catch my breath.

I do weekly sprint intervals (or have been recently) - 1 min on then 1-min off and just slow down to jogging pace. Managed to get up to 17 sets last year during lockdown 1 before it started taking its toll.

Killing me that i've not been running, but i suppose if im not 100% with various niggling issues with my legs best to stay off

I'm doing it too. It will be my first and last marathon. I ran 15k yesterday and 12k today. The thought of combining these into a single run, and continuing for another 15k, to be honest, is not a nice prospect. But I didn't sign up expecting it to be easy.
