Probably shouldn't have left it until I was over 40 to start running 🫣
First time trying interval training, warmed up with a 2.5 mile slow run at 11 min/mile pace and tried to keep my heart rate low, then the plan was 30 second sprints following by 2 minutes recovery walk/jog x6.
Felt a bit goofy manually starting and stopping the watch while aiming for 30 seconds, not being used to sprints I needed the full 2 mins recovery in between.
The best lap was actually the last 0:31.3 seconds, 0.1 mile, 5:04 min/mile pace.
It was pissing it down, cold and windy, ran the intervals on a side road and then 0.8 mile jog back.
Next thing to do is work on threshold tempo maintaining better pace for 20 mins, no benchmark yet but guessing 8:20 min per mile approx.
