Better start to the week

Took a rest day on Monday and therefore headed into Tuesdays track session of 6 x 1k @ 5k pace feeling refreshed which showed in the times compared to last week:- 03:48 03:48 03:47 03:47 03:47 03:43 (pushed the last rep to get under 3:45 - 1:30 laps) Recoveries were still greater than the scheduled 3 mins as Pat tended to stretch just as we approached the start line for each rep. Running in lane 3 (1,048m) the pace equated to 05:42 to 05:50 (03:33 - 03:38). I still felt strong for this mornings recovery run (normally 08:30+ pace) churning out 10.7 miles in 01:23:58. Somehow I feel tomorrow mornings tempo run of 5.5 miles @ 10k pace will suffer. Tue 25th Mar 8.1 miles in 01:07:08 (08:17 pace @ 141HR) with 6 x 1k @ 03:43 to 03:48 Wed 26th Mar 10.7 Miles in 01:23:58 (07:51 pace @ 131HR)

  1. Nice improvement with the kms Grellan. I think that's a 'trick' of Pat's to extend the recovery. You should just head off when your watch says 2:58 and leave him behind!
