Default I hate interval training

After laying off interval training, I resumed this month and it sucks.

We do a two mile warm up, three 110 striders, three one mile repeats with one minute rest, and three two hundreds with a warm down.

Now before the rest of you yuck it up, it was more difficult than it should have been.

First mile, 6:28, second mile 6:33, and third mile was a sufferfest at 6:43. Yikes, where did that come from. And I almost puked. Don't lay off intervals. I could not have done a fourth mile if I had wanted to, unless walking would have counted.

Dude I can almost run a mile at that speed. Are you using knobby tires, with a broken spoke?

When I was your age, those times would have been more than a minute faster. It sucks to get old. However, it doesn't suck that all my running companions are female. When you're old and slow, there are some benefits.

Several of them are quite beautiful as well.

Next week we do four hundreds. I hate quarters.

I applaud you for even getting out there and doing them. Intervals suck so bad.

I had decided that I was going to start them this week, but reading your post has made me reconsider.

I am currently reading a book about those that were the first to break the 4:00 minute mile and the training they did was insane. Bannister for 2 months only ran intervals. Everyday, no rest days. That is pain. He was also a medical student at the time and putting in 16 hour days at the hospital.

I was intending to add that, as I believe I've read that book.

Mike, what's your problem if Bannister could do it in the fifties, why can't you do it now?

Jim Ryan once had a workout of 40 x 400s under a minute. I cannot imagine that much pain.
