Program with 'mixed spice' added :
CHEV TRACK.....
2km warm-up @ 75% of MHR.
Drills, Rest, 3 x strides.
4 x 400m HARD! 3 minute walking recoveries.
Full recovery, then.......extra 'spice'...
1 x 800m HARD! Rest.
800m walk/jog warm-down.
Prelims all done!
4 x 400m....2:15.0 (went out too hard in first 150-200m & legs seized up before finishing!); 2:20.9 (over compensating);
2:14.2; 2:11.9
I wasn't happy with these times, but a good experience for the future as to how to pace these repeats.
1 x 800m.......4:40 (10 seconds slower than on the AIS track , last Thursday night!)
I wasn't very happy with this either.
I started just after 8:00 a.m. after hearing the weather forecast for today : hot, 28 degrees & smoke filled skies from a bushfire; could hear the choppers overhead as they tried to monitor the blaze started by lightning last week in inaccessible ranges, somewhere between here & Katoomba.
I thought that getting up early, after an early night, might enable me to pull out a wonderful surprise for myself & Ewen! It was a surprise, but not quite what I had in mind!
Tomorrow, 'a spoonful of sugar' - rest!
Saturday, 'heavily spiced' program - 1500m Time Trial!
Just reading about your training program makes me feel exhausted LL.
ReplyDeleteYou sure work hard. You have earned tomorrow's sugar.
As always you are an inspiring Chickybabe.
Bugger, I didn't even realise you were here. :(
ReplyDeleteGood on you, concentrate on that mile won't you?
A big session LL, great stuff, working hard and the results will surely come your way!
