Fartlek 35 Minutes - 7,6,5,4,3,2,1 (60 sec rec)

Tuesday .
Despite running the Half on Sunday I couldn't honestly say I smashed my legs up too much so it was back into the City on a cracker of a day for a set designed by the 'chairman' Tommy H after the HuRTS website left a blank that nearly brought the City to a standstill.
Went out fairly hard and found myself sitting off the back of a decent group and in a small pack of Marc Ashworth and Frenchman Dom. Was surprised to see Tom then join me towards the end and from that point on was happy to stick with him throughout. Found I was keeping it more than honest with each rep around the 3.40 pace but Tom was able to keep his 'float' at a higher pace than I was and therefore getting away during the 60 seconds recovery.
Just under 9ks completed within the 35 minutes with the pace for each rep as follows
7 mins @ 3.41
6 mins @3.37
5 mins @ 3.38
4 mins @ 3.38
3 mins @ 3.45
2 mins @3.40
1 mins @3.37

A good cool down back through the city with Renee, Corky O'Connor and Tom to end with.
Good set and happy with the way I run.


Wednesday.
Had lined up a run with Crossy Lad but he let me down (again) after he forgot his coat and it was deemed to cold to run for him.
Decided then to join a strong 20 plus team that included Renee, Jac, The Branagan Brothers, Sammy J, Brendan Fehon, Brendan Yum Cha, Tommy H, Hoey as well as a host of others for a trot out to my office in Centennial Park and back. Enjoyed the run up through Rushcutters, and then Ocean Street as the banter started to fly about the 'Battle of the Blogs'. Poor Hoey was devastated when Jac O'Connor said she read his after 10PM in the evening as a means to help her sleep, whilst Tommy H was left shattered after learning Jac doesn't even read his that left him mystified just who is the 2nd reader each day?
Once Centennial Park was done it was back up Driver Ave and back to the City via Oxford Street where Brendan Fehon was doing his best in trying to kill us all by running every red light.
13ks all up in 60 minutes averaging 4.45s
26k for the day after completing 13 as well during the morning, wouldn't normally count those but today was run at a decent gallop with some of my faster clients.
Pretty tired now.


Cheers
