Met up with Kanser first up (he was only 8 minutes late so things are looking up) for a repeat of last Tuesdays session that was the 800s down at McKay Oval. Only managed to do 6 last week but even after a weeks training I was hoping I could knock out the full quota of 8 alongside the improving Kanser.
Another dry and humid morning and was just focused on maintaining form and getting some consistency within the set as I settled on about 3.23 per /k pace for the first of the 8. Surprised myself a little as I then was able to hold the pace for the remaining 7. Kanser always goes out harder and had gaped me by the 200 mark but I was able to hold the gap after that as he was coming in some 4-5 seconds ahead on each.
Times for the day were (last week’s times in brackets);
2.43 (2.42), 2.44 (2.45), 2.44 (2.47), 2.45 (2.50), 2.44 (2.52), 2.44 (2.52), 2.45 (x.xx), 2.43 (x.xx)
Tough session but happy with that and glad to get another one out the way.
Had Enda on the phone after the session, asking the question when Kanser was going to front up and take him on in a race – Tells me that old Kanser has been avoiding him in recent months (Can’t you tell he’s in a rich vein of form?) Personally I think Echinacea better watch out as from what I’ve seen Kanser is on the comeback trail and tipping along nicely, already knocking out 100k weeks and the speed is not far off.
Will try to get out in the morning for a medium to long run around the park, before getting another swim set in at lunch.
