Rushcutters 10 x 400s

Another alternative session demanded by Kanser and Highnam that saw a small (but quick) band of the team assemble down at Rushcutters for the 10 x 400mtr session, Although there was no sign of the two, nor J-Fen, Tucks, Walker or Mikey?
So with the speedy, Italian Stallion Durante, Bartles and Big Sam we rolled around the first rep in a solid 71 secs. going every two minutes the 2nd rep was similar with Bartles and Durante a second or two ahead. Kanser made his customary late appearance in time for the 3rd (this despite him sending emails to everyone that he wanted to start 10 minutes earlier?)
Sweat was pouring out of me by the middle stages but was happy as i was even paced , with Big Sam just behind on each keeping me more then honest.
Durante pulled the pin at 8, whilst we then finished the last two, Sammy was that disorientated after the 10th that he was on the starting line wanting to go again thinking he'd only done 9 - He was all over the shop, even talking about how good Crystal Palace were in the 80s :)
Very happy with the session, and looking at the times it was probably as fast a set as I've done for a long time, so hopefully the training is paying off for me. Times were.
71, 70, 69, 70, 70, 70, 71, 71, 72, 70, ( And i know Tom wont believe this but best part is we measured it long between 414 - 424 metres :) )

Haven't given my movie review for a long time, but been watching all the latest releases and non better then Meryl Streep's performance of Margaret Thatcher in 'Iron Lady' - Great film although i have to say not sure it gives a true or honest portrait of the women.
Timmy's review........4 boxes of popcorn, go see it.
* Had a call from Enda, who wasn't even sure who M.Thatcher was and thought Iron Lady was the female equivalent of Iron Man.............. God , that lad is a worry :)  *
On my book worm review, just started a new read - Jasper Jones, quality.... can't seem to put it down - although it might be a bit heavy for our Irish friends who are more into Finn McCool and the Great Fish.

Will give myself a rest day tomorrow now, and might even venture down to the pool at lunchtime to see how the HuRTS Hasselhoff's are going on in the swimming.
Cheers

  1. Good form Young Timmy!
    We will be expecting big things of you in coming weeks.
    In what ways does the film stray from reality?
