Rushcutters Pyramid

Down to Rushcutters today for the tough Pyramid session and whilst all the big guns were back including, Quentin, Tucks, Crossy, Clarkey, Tom and ‘RedFoo’ Dean Degan, there were no sign of either Stankard or Bartlett who both still have a case of the sniffles. With Mikey even taking a well earned rest day after his tough Sunday session……………. On support duties.

Tough session I find this one that sees 1,2,3,4,3,2,1, laps done with half the amount of recovery time.  Worked with the fast group today and sat just behind Crossy for the first half (he must have been taking it easy) before the Chairman Tommy H who had previously been taking it even easier running with the girls joined me on the second triple, double and single laps. Felt pretty strong for the first half once more although I’m always happier once the 4 timer is out the way, and with Tom helping me out I was even happier to be able to kick it down on the back half of each rep.

All reps were kept well under 3.30 pace (apart from the first)

Times and pace were:

1.       89  @ 3.31 pace

2.       2.58 @ 3.25

3.       4.29 @ 3.22

4.       5.59 @ 3.23

        3.    4.23 @3.15

        2.    2.54 @ 3.13

        1.    79     @ 2.53

So, with each session I’m starting to feel stronger and with it comes a little more confidence (I hope) – Rest day again tomorrow and will try to get out for the Sunday long run this week.

Best of luck to Tucks who heads O/S on Sunday in preparation of his big Ultra Run/Walk that he is doing, not 100% sure where he’s even going but I’m tipping he’ll come back with a placing to his name, He did say he was just looking at reducing his sleep time for this race that currently stands at 45 minutes mid race J
