Har har har! Had to go down steps in the dark with no street light :eek: so crept down them slowly, would not welcome a sprained ankle!
And the extra peak was at the very start of first stride, I done two 20 second ones by accident!
False start!

It may just be that I'm stupid but shouldn't there only be 6 peaks....like 3 then 5 min gap then another 3

I'm sure Meno can confirm or deny this ...but this is what i done (or planned to do :rolleyes:). 5 strides, jog for a bit and then 5 again.
Five which is equal to one pyramid prescribed went 20,40,60,40,20 (pyramid shape) with equivalent jog periods between each one.

I love running in AM. often b4 work , many DCM LSR towards end up at 5!
I'm the opposite, usually go for a nap after work and then go out later in the evening. In fact when I fell last year I was out running at 11pm and when I got to A&E the nurses were giving out to me for being such a lunatic running so late at night in the streets.
My sister who came to the hospital with me works there and told me to pretend to the Doctor that I went out earlier and not say I was running at 11pm cause its not the norm
In all fairness I had left to go out on the run at 9.30, it was just a long run.0 -

Not wrong, just different!
I knew there was some miniscule benefit of posting my graph. I just thought it looked cool!:D0 -

Good job you were curious about that graph or Blockic would be the only one doing the strides correctly. I was running them the same pattern as yours.0 -

If thats the case I done it wrong too! I just thought the easy reps in between was us coming back down the pyramid!!0 -

Haha, just reading through. I had been wondering why no-one had questioned me about the structure of the 'pyramid strides' session. I figured I must be great at explaining things but eveidently not
I can confirm that what Blockic says below is exactly what i had meant:I'm sure Meno can confirm or deny this ...but this is what i done (or planned to do :rolleyes:). 5 strides, jog for a bit and then 5 again.

Anyway not to worry if you did it slightly differently, the important this was to break into faster running for a few short periods. If anyone did way less fast bits than prescribed, feel free to do one 'Pyramid' of the strides during tomorrows easy run or the weekend long run.0 -

I got what you meant...but I only did one set, didn't see the "repeat it" part.
Found them good...give the body a bit of a shake up when its used to going through the motions steadily.
It was also my first night using my new garmin. Love it.0 -

Did 4 miles tonight. Second run with the garmin.
Tried the virtual partner against last nights run. Hit the "enter" button and headed off with my head torch and Hi-Vis.
After about 1.5 miles I looked at the garmin and some numbers seemed to be flicking up and down, so switched to screen with distance ahead/distance behind. It read 0 feet. Jaysus, says I, I'm bang on. So I upped the pace and nothing happened. Upped the pace more. Nothing happened. At this stage I'm transfixed on the screen and hammering down the road. Cop on and a quick glance left or right at the trees which were whizzing by me would have confirmed that I was going a lot harder than last night.
Then it dawned on me, I hit the enter button but never hit the start button.
Laughing now, but by christ I'm gonna pay for this in the morning.0 -
For anyone doing the Waterford half (hope the embed works)

Interesting to see the course. Looks v rural which'll be a nice change -all my runs & races have been in Dublin. Intrigued by mention of a nature park - any animal spotting to occupy me on mile 12 there...;)Did 4 miles tonight. Second run with the garmin.
