Not really sprints. I've been thinking about running a bit faster and have thought it would be interesting to try out interval-type training. So I had a go on an errands run yesterday. I ran "fast" up Victoria road to Saltaire road and then as-fast-as-I-could up the next bit to the Bradford road.
The "fast" was 45 seconds of 6 min/mile. It was uphill, but felt like a nice flying speed that I'd like to learn to run at and increase the distance that I can run at this pace.
The "fast-as-I-could" was also uphill and only for 16 seconds, at 4:45 min/mile. With this one I might try 20-second proper sprints as part of the run, see how fast I can go. Just for fun really.
The main thing holding me back is that I want to run long each time I go out - it seems that, given there's inertia involved in getting out there, I should be making the most of each time I do, by running 5k or so. I'll monitor and, of course, report back.
