The first three splits were pretty good, although really started feeling it in the second half.
I am currently reading a really inspirational book about members of the 100 marathon club, and one of the most common pieces of advise is that in any marathon you should never walk, always try and run no matter how slowly. Part of what I am trying to do with my intervals is to keep running during the rest periods. It's a work in progress, but i'm getting there!
So, despite the slower splits for 4-6, I am counting it as a bit of a win as I managed to run (very slowly!) during the rest periods.
Hopefully as time goes on i'll be able to run a bit faster during the rest periods and hit the split targets as well!
