This blog is mainly to help me and Ron (my fabulous coach) keep track of what is going on in my training. Good days. Bad days. Successes and failures. Aches and pains. That sort of thing. But please come visit once in a while to see how we're getting on!

A cracking day with some track

17M - double; recovery and speed session
6M am recovery run at ~5.50min/M with pack
11M pm including 20x400m at 68-71s with 45s recovery

Cracking day! Overslept this morning, so a fastish run in this morning. Still managed 6 miles, breakfast and shower without being (more than 5 mins) late for my meeting first up.

Ran gently to the track, then joined in a great session. There were 6 or 7 of us doing 400s with 45s recovery, aiming for 12-16. I was about 2/3rds of the way down the pack once I settled at ~70s laps. The recovery the Harriers take still feels v short to me. I'm used to 3 or 4 times this rest, but looking back at my times, I'm doing similar splits now to my park reps.

When we hit 16 reps I was ready to stop but Henry suggested 4 more. He and I managed to squeeze them out, and I maintained an even set of splits. 2 mile warm down also good.
