Fartlek Battle


Not sure if it was due to heat, excessive crowds, the fact I run 8ks this morning or was generally tired but I just never got going to the HuRTS 5 x 9 minute efforts (broken down into 3,2,1 minutes with a 60 second break after each).

After an eternity explaining the set we were off and I sat in with Super Kev to start for the first set at least before he pushed on, Got through the 2nd set pretty much solo and had already decided before the start that 4 reps was the go but instead of turning for home I easy jogged /walked the 9 minutes before turning for home and picking up the pace again.

Got back with nearly 30 seconds to spare but it was anything but a good session as I only managed an average of 3.53s for the 36 minutes run time (4 reps) feeling less than ordinary throughout.

Still tired all the same and will enjoy a rest day on Wednesday before returning on Thursday for another tough one – 3 x 2ks reps down Barangaroo and Hickson Road

cheers
