It was right on the treadmill to begin intervals. I can manage an easy run on the treadmill, albeit at a less than usual road speed, so this was a rare time.
At the first one itself, I knew I had to half the distance – from one kilometre to 500m. There was no way I could hold on to what I would have considered the right pace, so I had to adjust that too.
Running by feel and halving the distance did the job. Surprisingly, I wasn’t bummed about it.
