Once again stayed in the park after work and met up with Sharonne (jeez, shes a tough cookie backing up from a 38k Sunday run) and decided we'd do the 3 x 10 minute tempo session with a 2 minute easy run recovery in between sets.
Legs were still feeling pretty ordinary after the weekends efforts so wasn't bursting out for this session in truth as the tempos are far from my favorite ones at the best of times.
Didn't try to smash the first rep but found i was actually moving OK which surprised me and covered 2.72ks at 3.42 pace, a couple of minutes chat and recovery before the second rep that i found tough straight away starting near the Fox Gates hillier section of the park. Battled to hold a tempo pace and wondered where or how the hell number 3 was going to come from? Battled on and was just happy to hold a similar pace to finish the set off and was left thinking that the session was much harder then it should have been for a tempo.
Pace/Distances for the day were.
2.72ks @ 3.42s
2.61ks @ 3.50s
2.61ks @ 3.50s
Cool down lap at the end to complete 15ks for the day.( Lap warm up as well at the start)
Tomorrow will be out for an easy 14ks before backing off in time for the 10k Striders run at North Head on Saturday.
Cheers
