45 mins Fartlek (3,2,1 efforts) x 5 (60 secs rec)


Big team again and despite rocking up on time Mikey was all set to bark out the orders and looked a little disappointed when I arrived. Noticed the full team of Irish boys back as we gear up for yet another year in competition for the Churchill Cup. Leech, Kanser, Super Kev, Macca, Enda and wannabe Jerome ‘Paddy’ Dupoy all starting to look sharp for the May showdown.

Session today was 3,2,1 minute efforts (with 60 second break after each) x 5 = 45 minutes

Set off pretty well for the first couple of reps (18 minutes ) despite running solo the whole way before Enda and The Leech caught me around the Quay area, tapped onto them for the 3rd 9 minute set that took us past the Passenger Terminal and up Hickson Road and got as far as I have in a long time at the entrance to Barangaroo before the turn around point averaging a healthy 3.45 pace.

Sat on the two boys for the 4th 3 minute effort but the band soon snapped around the Quay and once that happened I was gonski as the clock ticked over the 30 minute mark. With no one around I cut short across the Opera forecourt and once back into the Domain was keen just to see the last 10 minutes out.

Pace dropped loads for the return down to over 4 min/ks (4.03) as a strong looking Jeet finished off well and I crossed the line in 45.08 and that was even cutting short.

11.3ks all up, still work to be done. Happy to get to 30 minutes before the fade came so slowly getting there

Would like to get a few ks under the belt tomorrow, but feeling tired now so will see how I feel in the morning before deciding

 

 

Cheers
