Tuesday 2 x 20 minute efforts (3 mins recovery)


Yet another 24 degree day in Sydney brought a big group out for the 2 x 20 minute session. Had already done about 12ks (easy) in the morning so was already thinking that 30 minutes would be enough today even before the start. Once Barts and Special Q had gone I found myself tipping along at a decent clip with Jeet. Hipster Mitch, David Tonge  and Razor Wareham reaching the squashed car at 5.45k averaging 3.41s

A 3 minute standing recovery before the return trip and basically just tried to sit in with the guys coming through the busy Quay area and the Opera House, Got back in the Domain at the 10 minute marker but kept it going until the far side gates before stopping with 12 minutes completed still averaging 3.42s (3.3ks). Then did a slight detour whilst the lads carried on around Mrs Macs Chair and rejoined at the A.B.C Pool when I saw Jerome coming through knowing we have 1k to go from that point. Jerome’s a great bloke to sit with at this stage of any run as he always offers good encouragement and despite feeling tired I was able to hang with him to run the final stretch at 3.39 pace.

Just shy of 10k for the set that I was happy with, and even on heavy legs I feel as if I’m moving OK.

 

Will be back out tomorrow for the usual Midweek City to Surf trot back up the hills.

 

Cheers
