A.M. A cold and grey morning but no ice on the streets. Easy warmup for 8k to finish up at the track for a short interval session of 6 x 800m with 90 sec recovery. The times were 2:56, 2:56, 2:56, 2:55, 2:54, 2:59. The recovery felt too long for the first 3 and not long enough for the last 3. I really pushed the last 800 and was surprised that this was the slowest, but glad they were all under the 3 min mark. I also felt left hip ache in the joint after the 3rd repeat. I wanted to finish with a 100m to see with Sasha science what marathon time this would indicate. There is so many lines and markings all over the track, I picked what I thought was the start line for the 100m and ran to the finish line in 19s. This seemed a little too slow, then I noticed tiny metal tags at the edge of the track clarifying the lines. I'd ran 110m, dooh! Cooldown jog back to home to my wife who has been sick the last couple of days but is now feeling well enough to go out. Total 16,5k in 1:13:42, av pace 4:28/k, 7:11/mi. |
