Going Backwards.....

.....with my program!

Having finished the 16 weeks of my program, I returned to Week 8 today so as to line up a taper with the Canberra Running Festival Half Marathon on May 2nd. That took me to Chevalier College track where I ran happily forwards!

2km warm-up
Drills & Strides.

3 x 1600m @ 5:55m/k (9:28)

1st 1600m in 9:28
Avg. pace 5:55
AHR 129 (81%); MHR 138 (87%)

2nd 1600m in 9:21
Avg. pace 5:50
AHR 130 (82%); MHR 142 (89%)

3rd 1600m in 9:27
Avg. pace 5:55
AHR 128 (81%); MHR 139 (87%)


I was surprised that I felt today's three so hard having done six of the same distance two weeks ago. VP was running at 5:55 pace so he had a better day & we're both underway for CRF half marathon!
