Thursday, 10 July 2008

Training was up at the Coburg track tonight. I wasunder the mistaken impression that we would have an easy night ahead of the AV 16 km cross country on Saturday. Well, I was wrong!

Mind you, it wasn't a gut busting session, but still fairly solid. As we lined up in Antarctic temperatures Brian cut short our usual warm so that we just did our back straight strides and then straight onto run throughs

The main session was a nine minute, eight minute and seven minute set with five minutes break between each one. The sets were to consist of comfortable paced running with a 150 metre surge on each lap

I got through six laps on the first set, five on the second and almost five on the last for about 16.5 laps all up (once all the little added bits are included). Pretty happy with that as I was feeling less than fresh after a late night last night and the tempo session yesterday

Two laps warm down before I grabbed the last two cold green cans from the fridge and headed home for some Osso Bucco and cous cous. Perfect winter fare and helped me to thaw out a little. Tonight was one of the coldest nights of the year

TOTAL DISTANCE : about 7.5 kilometres including warm up and down
