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!

Good low altitude K reps!

15M double; recovery run & K rep session
7M am recovery run at ~6.30min/M
8M pm incl 6x1K at 3.00-3.05 off 70-80s jog & 6x100m hills

I'm still feeling pretty tired after last week. At the top of my quads. Like I often do when I'm in heavy training. So I wasn't expecting much when I headed to the track this evening. I even considered pulling on my racers to make me feel better (but didn't bother).

In the end, I was pleased with how I ran. My splits: 3.00-3.03-3.04-3.05-3.04-3.01 were better than I've run before. And it was off a shorter recovery than sometimes (70-80s jog). Apparently my stride was a bit short and I was leaning back more than sometimes - two things to work on for next time.

Looking back at my previous sessions, I've never run any of my reps faster than 3.04 and my slowest in a session is usually 3.08-3.11. Admitedly that's probably not something to be proud of, but at least it means I'm considerably faster than before.
