I had completed 1km of the warm-up when a coach load of young cricketers descended on the oval....my oval!
No choice but to go onto the soccer field which is a level above the oval & track.
Program: Medium Speed.
Warm-up : 2km @ 75% of MHR. Some drills, Rest & 3 x strides.
2 Sets of 5 x 150m 'hard' : 38 to 40 seconds. 2:20 walking recoveries. 5 - 7 minutes between sets.
Warm-down : 800m jog/walk.
I finished the warm-up, drills & strides well out of the way of flying cricket balls!
The only way to run the repeats was to use Mr G-armin & pace out, back & forth for accuracy, a distance of 150m. I didn't do this well at all & found, after starting to run, that there were 2 sharp corners where there should have been 2 well-rounded curves!
Under these less than perfect conditions : rough ground, no lanes, probably inaccurate distances & already nearing 33 degrees...
Set 1. 42.2; 31.1; 30.0; 39.5; 39.9
Set 2. 39.6; 38.9; 39.3; 39.8; 39.0
It was the best I could do ...!
