stadtparking - interval in the dark

16° celsius, dry and no wind. 19:25 (80 mins)

donnerstags, the interval day. such a nice day. unfortunately when the training starts, it was already dark. well, before the training, there was a small toast to celebrate the runners who did well in the northgerman halfmarathon championship last sunday. so, it was get drunk before you run!

today's training was 10 x 400 m downhill. urrgghhh... how i hate downhill. luckily, it was just a slight slope, but that also mean that we have to run up to the starting point again! few new runners joined our training tonight. as usual, they were fast but only for the first 2 - 3 "laps". then the usual suspects "took over" the pace and remained fast till the last lap. i did few fast and not so fast laps. it was fun running with people who have the speed as you do and we pushed each other to the limit, not forgetting to joke around as well at the end of each lap. it was a combination of relax, tough and fun training.
