Training was with Brian tonight. A testing little session. We were to do a 2000 metre, 1500 metre and a 1000 metre effort. It rained through the warm up and was quite cold by the time we started

Not overly impressed with any of the times. The 2,000 metre effort was a bit of a struggle through the last three laps and completed that in 6:45. So just over what I would normally do for 5 km race pace

A 600 metre slow jog recovery, and a three minute rest and we were into the 1500 metre set. Very disappointed with this one at 4:53 and was hoping it would at least be quicker than that 1500 metre effort I did a few weeks ago

A 500 metre recovery this time and we were into the 1000 metre effort. A pushed this one a bit through the last two laps with 77 and a 73 to finish off,which was pleasing for 3:00. By far my best effort of the night but I would still have hoped for at least 6:30 on the 2 km effort and 4:45 on the 1500 metre effort

Off home for my favourite meal of maccaroni cheese. yummy yum!!

TOTAL DISTANCE : about 6.5 kilometres including warm down and recoveries
