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!

100m reps

11M - double; 100m rep session & recovery run
7M am incl 30x100m off 30s plus 5M at ~6.30min/M
4M pm recovery run at ~6.30min/M

I've not done short reps in a LONG time. I felt a bit ungainly at the beginning. But slowly I got a feel for good solid form. I guess that's half the point of these. I'm not sure they were exactly 100m - I just found a good flat stretch in the park that took about 16s to sprint. By the end I was finding I could knock them out fairly reliably in 14-15s. I took a 2min break at roughly half way. And when I was done, I ran 5 miles fairly gently around the park.

My legs have felt well exercised for the rest of the day. My core strength work probably contributed to that. I felt better after my late afternoon recovery run.
