Intervals

Monday I had a lovely run through Kings Park while Sas did her tempo; the legs obviously felt a bit tired, but it was a reasonable effort considering the race on Sunday. 8.25km @4:21 HR160 Ca83 Asc 70 696bpk. The park was beautiful in the crisp sunny conditions.

Tuesday I went to JK's session at Alderbury Park. It's cricket season so our loop had to be shifted and now spans the somewhat bizarrely positioned bike path someone decided was a good idea. JK said the loop was probably a little long as it was measured by pacing it out ; someone with a GPS said it was 407m... anyhow I know it was going to be tough session because the legs still felt a little cooked from Sunday. It was a pyramid session (2/4/6/8/8/6/4/2) with 4k of effort, thankfully not too long, but the breaks were short. There was a little wind to deal with, but on the track you only get headwind for 100m at the most so it's never too bad.

34.0/72.8/1:52.8/2:35.1/2:34.2/1:53.2/72.5/22.633.6

Wednesday morning I hooked up with Sas for a short recovery run ; its about 12hrs since the intervals and it's been an intense few days for both of us and the legs were feeling tired & heavy, so we enabled each other in reducing the run to a real recovery run : 5.3km (@4:34 pace HR 149 Ca84 679bpk). Had a nice coffee afterwards as a reward for a job well done ;-)

Good luck to everyone in their upcoming marathons, especially Biscuitman and Clown as they battle injuries to get to the start line. Fingers crossed for you guys, I've been where you are and really hope it all comes together for you.
