The yellow intervals did not feel very hard. The 1 minute is quite short for yellow interval so I'm not sure whether my speed was too slow or was it just because the length of intervals. Despite of the easy feeling of yellow I still slowed down a bit too much in green rest periods. It makes me wonder how would it be "correct" way to perform such intervals. And what would correct paces for me... The assessment workout has given me usually too high speeds, and I actually prefer HR based trainings. I wish I have a BTLE HR monitor so I could preform assessment with that. But then, I do not want to run with two HR belts. But, if I buy one for me, I'm sure I will start running with two belts...

Weather was a bit cold for running: temperature -6°C, very little rain, small wind (4-5 m/s: head wind in first half of run).
Clothing: 2 x T-shirt, 2 x long sleeve shirt, track suite, wind stopper, ski hat, gloves. Quite Ok, but if it gets colder then legs need additional clothing

Happy running,
Gert
