Day 2 - Step Lively........



.....difficult to step at all after yesterday's Christmas lunch, of which the piece de resistance, with coffee, was caramelized orange slices, fresh dates & Belgian Chocolate Seashells! Oh My!!

However, next day : The Program continues...

Chev Track : Short Speed.

Warm-up 2km; some drills, rest & 3xstrides.

2 Sets of 5 x 150m @45 seconds - 40 seconds between repeats & 5-7 between Sets. Warm-down 800m jog/walk.

Set 1. 42.1; 40.5; 39.6; 40.1; 39.3

Set 2. 39.6; 39.7; 40.3; 40.0; 39.4

This was a fairly good session; times much the same as last Tuesday - maybe a teeny weeny bit quicker for some - a cool morning but a fairly strong southerly which was a headwind when going in one direction & a tailwind on the return! Wore blue Frees ...still favourite for track. It was a hard session but since it's also a fairly short one, the pain is soon forgotten!

The silver rose bowl was a present from Santa........roses are from the garden.......>

  1. Merry Christmas LL! It was a good morning to be out today, I have to admit I did a set of intervals too, modified to keep the speed down by reducing recovery. :( Hard sessions are not so easily forgotten and all I could do was continually curse JT for her suggestions for training.

  3. I'm glad you had a lovely day (though between the Belgian Chocolates and the silver rose bowl, how could you not! :-) )

    We look forward to following more of the adventures of Chickybabe in the new year. See you then :-)
