First proper session for the HuRTS boys of the New Year and what a crowd there was as well. Mikey Conway had spent the festive season trying to come up with some new sessions and all he was to come up with was a straight 45 minute Tempo (22.5 out then return).... Well done Mikey.
I can only say what a bloody horrible session it was to, crowds galore, very hot, not helped with my lack of fitness made for a long day at the office. I swear the crowds weren't that big at the Quay on New Years Eve, and i was reduced to a near walk at one stage and did more side steps then Freddie Fittler did in his last season as the 'Roosters'.
It was supposed to be out in 22.5 mins but after nearly taking out half a million people i decided i was going to create my own session and tempo for 5ks, break and then do the same back. Struggled out just ahead of M.C and Big Sam and reached my mark in 19.40 (3.55 pace) walk/jogged then until i saw them again returning and venturing through the Quay again, the hills made a tough session even tougher and i only managed the 2nd 5ks in 19.53 (3.59 pace), before hitting the stone gates in 45.27.
With the St George Cinema down at Mrs Macs and the kids on holidays, not to mention the Tammy Tourists around i will select my sessions for the next 3 weeks as i can't run like that again:(
I think Thursday's session is down as 4 x 2ks on Hickson, so that should be a little less congested.
Cheers
Geez Timmy, you turn into such a whingeing pom when you're fat and unfit. Time to HTFU.

ReplyDeleteJust face it - you're getting old. It's all downhill from here until the grave.
