Question Favourite Training Session

What training session do you like most of all? I guess the answer may depend on races you have lined up but generally speaking what session do you look forward to each week?

For me it's the long slow run on Sunday...even though I don't run slower unless I'm with someone else.

Love to but Bristol quite a way from Lowestoft!
Slow runs are good for fat burning so don't knock 'em!

I have to say I like speed and hill work, but only because of it's benefits. At the time, I hate it, it hurts!!!! Having said that there is nothing better than waking up at the weekend on a crisp sunny morning and going for a run in the hills (I am lucky, I have a hill range on my doorstep). Beats any other run, hands down.

I feel the need...for speed. slow runs give me too much time to think, 'what the hell am I doing', 'my legs hurt', 'what's that strange wheezing sound'. Speed work I can see/feel the benefits more and keeps me motivated.
I like Steve's approach to hills.....except when you've worked too hard and stuff that really shouldn't be coming out of your nose does. Although that's quite a buzz too! Probably best not to elaborate on that.
