After a massive weekend the last place I really wanted to be this morning was in Centennial Park knocking out 2 x 3ks tempo sets, still after a loop warm up (3.7ks) and meeting a friendly face for a chat on the warm up in HuRTS #1 female Renee along the way I just had to get on with it.
Didn’t want to smash these (don’t think I could anyway ) and decided to work more tempo pace for each rep, with a 700m floating recovery back to the café after the first rep.
Just felt tired from the start today and was counting the ks down from the first step to be honest. Pace was OK though and came around near Fox Gates at 3ks in 11.06 (3.42s), really needed to get my head right to go around again and took off slightly faster on the 2nd as I knew I’d be doing well to hold the pace over the later stages. Happy enough to actually go a few seconds quicker to stop the clock in 11.01 (3.40s)
A 2k cool down for just over 13ks in total - and boy these sessions feel so hard at this time of the year.
Will try to knock out an easy 12ks tomorrow and will make the effort to head into town on Thursday to join the boys for the 3 x 2ks reps that is scheduled.
As mentioned had a big weekend, and a special shout out to both Jeet and Fats who both celebrated turning 40, Had the pleasure in joining them to mark the occasion on Saturday evening and then backing up on Sunday at Petersham Bowling Club with Tony. Many thanks to both, not only for the invite but the generous supply of food and beers. Great to see some of the team out at both with Sammy J & Olivia, C.T , Lovely Lisa, Sonya, Craig Wiseman at Jeets bash , and the likes of Johnny Bowe & Worsick, C.T and HuRTS # 1 Tucks all turning out to help Fats celebrate.
Cheers
