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!

Quality hill reps

23M - double; recovery run and 800m hill rep session
6M am recovery run at ~6.45min/M with pack
17M pm including 15x800m hill reps at 2m45s-2m48s with jog back recovery

A quality day! I felt tiredish in the morning (but not very) and was glad that I planned my speed session for the afternoon. By the time I hit the park I was feeling pretty fresh.

I've not done this session before this year, so the times are hard to judge (though I measure the route with my Garmin, so the distance should be good). It's 800m with about 30m of even(ish) climb. I found my rhythm fairly early and hit pretty even splits, though I faded by a second or two for the last five. I felt I lacked power in my legs more than cardiovascular fitness towards the end. It was hard going. Which is good.
