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!

1K reps at the track

17M double; recovery run & K rep session
7M am recovery run at ~7.00min/M
10M pm incl 6x1K at 3.04-3.11 off 200m jog & 6x60m hills

My legs still aren't bad considering the battering they've had the last few days. I was a bit worried that I might be asking too much of them by hitting the track this evening. But I was ok and I still have no niggles.

It was COLD (about 1C) and a little bit breezy on the start-finish straight. It was definitely hat, gloves, leggings and jacket running weather.

My first couple were sluggish (3.11 and 3.10) and after the 2nd I couldn't feel my hands. But I then warmed up and the rest of the session felt better and was at a reasonable pace: 3.08-3.08-3.08-3.04. All off 200m jog recovery.

Danny then persuaded me to join him for six hill sprints. I could do with improving on my speed up hill I think. And this is the sort of form-improving drill that I'm rubbish at bothering with. Clearly, I couldn't stick with his pace. But I got the idea and my legs feel reassuringly like mush again. Which is all I can ask for.
