19M double; recovery run & 2K rep session
7M am recovery run
12M pm incl 5x2.06K in 6.26-6.32 (5.00-5.05min/M) off 90s
I felt pretty heavy legged today. Not sure why really. Maybe the strides yesterday? But probably just Saturday plus Sunday.
On my morning run, I was just going through the motions nice and gently. I felt pretty sluggish when I started my evening warm up. And I can't say I felt at my most dynamic as I flung myself around the Inner Circle on the first of my reps. It was my slowest. Numbers 2 and 5 were my (equal) fastest. I was really hanging on at the end and felt a bit dizzy on the way home. The sign of a solid session!
Despite my heavy legs, I think my times came out within acceptable bounds in the end. Taking the fact that the loop is just over 1K, I think they were 5.00-5.05min/M pace). I tried to concentrate on finding a good 10K-style race rhythm rather than thinking of them as reps. On keeping my stride length long (by pushing off well with my calves rather than over-striding) and keeping a good high cadence.
