Had intended to do some hills today but with a busy morning it meant i had to take the bike to work and therefore had nowhere to leave it so had to make the change to McKay Oval for the 6 x 1k rep session.
Cooler again and with a slight drizzle it made for perfect run conditions at 8am this morning, Normally a tough session this one but felt OK this morning just rolling around despite doing them solo again. With the first rep completed in 3.20per/k i was looking at going on the 5 min cycle, but in truth i was taking the full 2 minute recovery. The 2nd and 3rd reps were even faster before it then started to get harder, but held the pace well and was feeling as if i was at last 'striding it out'. Times for the 6 were;
3.20
3.14
3.09
3.12
3.13
3.06
Very happy with that, and probably the best session i have done this year, Gives me more confidence and its only February so hopefully come May time i will be cracking that sub 35 mins again (as well as cracking Richie High when he returns 12 kilos overweight after his constant consuming of the 50 cent beers). Also looking good for the next Strider's race in the handicap with Tommy H ( he has to give me 2.21 start..... Think he will have to run 33.39 to beat me ? :)
Suppose i have no chance of getting 90 seconds from Kanser now for that race after he reads this ?????
Had J- Fen on the blower last night - asking where i was and if everything was OK, Well i say that, i think he only phoned to give me more scandal from the HuRTS team. I did have to tell him this was a respectable blog and to take his gutter talk to Kanser :)
Back out there in the morning for the 'Brick' session with Roger, and may return for the HuRTS session on Thursday if the Chairman can over ride Mikey and do the 400s at Rushcutters, instead of a 32 minute Fartlek as per program :)
cheers
With those rep times, sounds like you marked-out the 1km with Flakey's measuring wheel (the one Kanser frequently borrows).
ReplyDeleteOnly going from the GPS Tom, but your right it did seem a tad short, not sure how close it gets on a Oval.... but i am pretty sure it's not as short as Flakey or Kanser's 800s that they claim are 1k :)
