Promised Mikey Conway i would to go into the city today for the HuRTS session but was to busy with work (some cynics would say i was running scared of him as he hits top form) so decided to stay in the park for one of my old sessions that i do more in the summer months and that is the 1600m around the Duck Pond in Centennial Park. Basically you run along a dirt track for 500m then just hog the Duck Pond all the way around back to the start.
Busy first up so i ended up with 8ks warm up with a client at an easy pace before getting set for the first rep, Battled on the first rep to be honest just to hold a pace and wondered then how the hell i would get through the rest of the set, Got into my stride more of the 2nd and was feeling better as the session wore on, although i was glad to get the final one out of the way.
Times for the Four were:
5.42 (3.35 pace)
5.33 (3.28)
5.30 (3.24)
5.29 (3.23)
Happy enough with that, and that pretty much is it now - Don't think any more training i do will make any difference to the time for Sunday so will just rest up and try to freshen up the legs and will have a massage on Thursday as well.
The usual TRASH has started in time for the big run - mostly coming from the Irish Corner yet again, Don't think i will get involved in all that and just leave them to it :)
Tomorrow i will give my HONEST assessments for all the HuRTS boys and there predicted times.
Cheers
