NOT the Hickson Road 1.2k Reps.

With Sydney getting another downpour overnight and with our bizarre weather i decided against the two hour round trip into the city for the Hickson Road 1.2k reps today and decided to do my own version in the park that i could do in 30 minutes.
5 x 1.2ks reps was the call and i just extended my original 1k reps i do to a further 200metres to get the extra distance. Just before i was due to start my old 205 GPS battery died so was forced to wear the unreliable 610 once more.
From the off the watch was all over the shop, telling me i was running at 3.46 pace that i knew was way out as i was moving OK. Just kept pressing the lap split after each rep without having a clue what the pace was for each. Got through the 5 OK, and then set about finding all the history and stats for the session: Times were; 4.20, 4.11, 4.19, 4.11, 4.18
Looks slow times but then checked the distance and it shows i was running 1.26ks in total that meant i was running about 3.25 pace and under.
As you can see the return legs were about 8 seconds faster then going out - didn't seem that much wind about but i guess there must have been something there as i felt i wasn't working any harder?

Tough session this one, and Tom has already been on to me about being a 'Pussy' and not testing myself with the rest of the lads, but i find it just as hard trying to push the pace doing it solo?

London Marathon this week , so best of luck to Big Sammy from the team, he's in good form and i can see a big PB for sure............ just hope its a PB and its one second slower then mine that i did there in 2008:)
Also good luck to HuRTS number 1, Tucks who is doing one of his off road trail runs for 45ks in the mountains. Jeez, it nearly the end of April and he still hasn't got the HuRTS 'Performance of the Year' Award wrapped up YET, whats going on ? ...........Expect a big race from him :)

Cheers
