I decided to do today's session at Chev track as I had done 3 weeks ago so as to compare times, heart rate, etc.
Program : 7km @ AHR 85%...."Hard".
I did a drills warm-up first & a few stretches, then started on the 7km 'hard'; and I tried to run very hard!
7km in 44:23.
Avg Pace = 6:20
AHR = 137 (88%); MHR = 154 (98%)!
1km Laps = 6:31; 6:25; 6:17; 6:16; 6:19; 6:24; 6:17
1km warm-down & few stretches.
I was particularly pleased with today's results. I did this same session 3 weeks ago in 47:35; today was 3 minutes 12 seconds faster!
Conclusion to all this : Nothing works better than consistent hard work!
Distance today = 8km
OK, that's it! I'm switching to the 4.5k walk at the Gold Coast!
ReplyDeleteBut Ewen, you would have to at least equal the performance of another speedy goose, Lisa, who won that walk a few years ago!
ReplyDeleteNo Ewen, you can keep up with LL, no worries. I have every confidence in you.
"at least equal"! haha.
