Intervals

Went to the new stadium with SG to try out the new track (and my spikes). Did an extended warmup ~ 25 minutes, did some drills and then hit the track for 6x600 on 3 minutes and then 6x200 on 1:15. Tough session - I think I was carrying a bit from the King's Park tempo, I just didn't feel as fresh as last week - a bit heavy in the legs. I did OK on the 600's but got blown away by SG on the 200's - the times aren't too bad, but I felt like I was jogging; fair turn of speed there, SG!

600m: 115, 116, 118, 117, 115, 111

200m: 35.2, 35.5, 34.6, 34.2, 34.5, 33.3

Spikes were good but the right foot (the one with the heel lift) never quite felt comfortable. I also think they hammer your feet a bit. I'll try again in the next session, but will do the 5k on the 30th in the baby blues I think.

The track was great - it's an excellent facility and it's $6 to use the track, showers (they promise there will be hot water by Friday) etc. and the lighting is excellent. Surprised there weren't more people out there.

With the cooldown the total was about 14k. Felt fairly shagged by the end. Come to mention it, still feel a little shagged now...
