Moore Park 1k Reps

A real easy 11k warm up (may have been too slow with clients) before heading over to Moore Park to catch up with Kanser for what is becoming our new regular early morning Tuesday set. Also had Pommy Paul Birch who finally put his float away for another year and joined us as Kanser called for 6 x 1k reps.

Was still feeling the effects from Sunday and for the second week running I wasn’t sure what to expect. The first rep found me moving OK and was more than happy to see out a 3.23 on the clock with Kanser not that far behind,  The 90 second recovery goes quick, but then found I was also as quick on the 2^nd and 3^rd reps. The 4^th was where I was starting to battle and I could feel the body tightening up and as for the 5^th I knew if I could just hang in then I’d be happy to call it a day at that.

Didn’t lose much on the 5^th but took the smart option to sit the last out as Kanser finished it as the humidity was once again nearly killing us both.

Times for the day. 3.23, 3.20, 3.21, 3.24, 3.24

Tough little set, but another one banked that I’m happy enough with.

16ks for the day.

Kanser is starting to get some form back and was perhaps only 3-4 seconds behind on each rep, and Birchy’s improvements go on as he was coming home in sub 3.50s

 

With Temps once again hitting about 280 degrees by lunchtime, I thought I’d take the opportunity to go indoors and head to the flicks.  And therefore bring you a much overdue movie review.  The Lady in the Van was the latest offering. The story is set in Camden Town in good old London and is based on a true story of Mrs Shepherd played by the very impressive Maggie Smith. Mrs Shepherd is a women of uncertain origins who ‘temporarily parks her van in writer Alan Bennett’s driveway for 15 years. You would assume that the squatter would be very appreciative but you’d be wrong as she’s nothing more than a grumpy cantankerous difficult women superbly played by Maggie Smith.

Very enjoyable and the English do these shows better than most.  Made though by the acting of Smith

3.5 boxes of popcorn out of 5 – worth watching, (especially if English) you may even see Slim Sammy Agnew walking the streets on his way to work in one scene.

Will try to log a few extra easy ks tomorrow, will see who is around at lunch.

Cheers
