HuRTS 14 x 3 minutes (60 seconds break)

Rolled up into town today with my Cupcakes to help celebrate HuRTS #1s Birthday (Tucks) but no sign of the man himself, but Marshmallow Man Clyde was there and his little eyes lit up when he saw the cake.... Don't know about eating the cake, the size of the man it looks like he has actually eaten Tucks.... The blokes huge, God only knows how he run 75 for the Half last week :)
Big crew in attendance again for one of the toughest on the program, with C.T making a guest appearance, but no sign of Kanser, Enda, Richie High or Pete Walker?
Found myself just sitting off the front group today that was Tom, J-Fen,and Fats and sat on about 3.19 pace (far to quick), and the return was even quicker again. From there i pretty much sat with J-Fen the whole way, and even remarked to him 'was he taking it easy', to which he replied that he was travelling at 3.19s himself. Got to the 10th rep and all of a sudden i was feeling pretty tired and just tried to hang on in for the final 4 reps. It was about this stage that Mikey Conway fired up and was ahead of me for the next 3 reps (tells me its the best session he has ever done on this set), Paced dropped here for me but wanted to finish the 14th rep strong and did so working at 3.16
Pace for each of the 14 reps were;
3.19, 3.16, 3.20, 3.20, 3.22, 3.19, 3.32, 3.20, 3.19, 3.21, 3.26, 3.24, 3.23, 3.16
13ks on the dot in 55 mins average 4.12 - happy with that, especially when you add in the 13 minutes of break included.
Bloody tough session, although i still don't think it gives a true reflection - As looking at those times i should be able to run sub 35 mins, but i think that 60 seconds break in between makes a huge difference, On the 45 minute straight out tempo i am struggling to hold 3.40s
Some of the boys were still taking it easy today, with Bartles laughing as he was running shoulder to shoulder with me it was that easy for him as was Macca Mac, Slim Sammy Agnew looks like he is over the worst and as mentioned WATCH out for Mikey. he's running Striders this week and is keen to keep his 100% record over me in the Head to Heads (he's 1-0 up ) .........And he must be favorite after today's showing :)
Talking of which i must drop the boys an email to see if there is any money to be made this week:)

Brick session is back in the park early morning tomorrow with Roger.

Cheers
