15M speed session!

15M - speed session
12M 24x400m at 68-73s with jog recovery
3M warm up and warm down

This was a tough new session. Twenty-four 400m reps seemed an awful lot at the beginning. I ran it as 4 batches of 6 reps with a 5 minute rest between batches. I focussed on just getting to the end of the current batch to maintain confidence I would get to the end.

I ran them at fairly even pace, though I was a couple of seconds slower on average in the second half. I ran the 4 batches in the following times: 68-70s, 68-71s, 70-73s and 71-72s. The hardest/slowest were the first couple in each batch. Probably my muscles had cooled down too much.

I felt pretty good, though I am pretty fatigued this week in general. My thigh is getting closer to normal. I had a going over from Gavin the osteopath before my run. It was loosening.
