........with eleven cones to trip on or over! At the end of the session they're good shot-put practice seeing how close to the fence I can throw them!Program: Short Speed.
Warm-up 2km @ 75% of MHR.
Drills. Rest. 3 Strides.
2 Sets of 5 x 150m @ 45 seconds with 40 seconds between repeats & 5-7 minutes between Sets.
Warm-down : 800m walk/jog.
Yesterday's temperature was 35 degrees C; today 15 degrees ....and what a difference that makes! It was cold & damp on the track at Chevalier College even at mid-day.
Set 1. 43.0; 44.3; 43.9; 44.8; 44.6
Set 2. 43.1; 43.6; 43.6; 44.0; 39.9 (for good measure!)
This felt a really easy session.....the combination of a cold day & hopefully, getting the hang of these 150m repeats, although I notice there were 6 repeats in each set last Tuesday & 5 today. Wore Asics 'Magic Racers' - the grass was too wet for the 'Frees' to come out! Even so, my socks still became soaked. I taped the right knee before starting.....no niggles; will keep icing etc. to make sure nothing develops.
An acceptable session!
Sounds like Melbourne weather, though I guess they'd have 35 degress one day, and 15 degrees the same day, just half an hour later :-)
ReplyDeleteNice work to go faster on the second set, especially in that last one.
Take care with the knee LL. Mine is just coming good after many months.
ReplyDeleteAll the best fo Christmas and may the new year bring you even more blessings.
