Coker 1500m and 2000m

Well, 2 PB's (chiefly because I've never 'raced' these distances before) but I came a way feeling slightly disappointed, I guess feeling that I hadn't really applied myself particularly in the 2k. The 1500 was good although it was pretty windy last night and I think I did the last lap in about lane three because of track congestion.

53.7 / 73.6 / 76.4 / 73.1 = 4:36.8 (km split 3:04.6/1:32.2 )

The 2000m started about 25 minutes later and I guess there was still some (physical and mental) fatigue, and I think I just got the pacing wrong - I really held back in the middle 3 laps, although the km splits were even!

74.3 / 78.7 / 77.4 / 78.8 / 75.2 = 6:24.4 (km splits 3:12.2/3:12.2)

Still it was a good strength workout (which is really the main goal) and I can't expect to break new ground every week.

Recovery day Friday, Darlington long run on Saturday and Sunday I plan do do the Gwelup 10km as a hard tempo run, hopefully around 36 minutes, we'll see how that goes... thankfully the wind forecast is promising, I'm really over this wet 'n windy weather.
