Decided on Iron Mines Oval as the venue for today's Time Trial because it has two football fields and thus gives a larger area to run around. I want to run on grass whenever possible and this was the ideal location. However, the grass was so spongy, the humidity so high and with no breeze at all, I found the session extremely difficult; I had to stop several times in order to get my breath and, worst of all, VP won! It was not the Time Trial I had been expecting in which I saw myself racing past VP at every round!Program:
1.5km easy
5km @ 6:29 min/km
1.5km easy.
This is how it turned out:
1.5km easy...ok
5km in 33:07
Avg. Pace =6:36 min/km
1km Splits = 6:42; 6:45; 6:26; 6:29; 6:40
1.5km easy...ok
Room for improvement here for sure!
Rest tomorrow to get ready for a long run on Sunday....when rain is forecast!
When I first glanced at your title I thought it said "A not so good IT" and I wondered what I was going to read - lol! Thought it might have been a continuing saga from your little adventure! Forecast here is for rain tomorrow when I have MY long run - yuck!Enjoy your rest day. :)
ReplyDeleteGee, the grass looks in good nick! It's always more humid running on grass, so tough conditions. Don't worry - you'll get your revenge on VP soon enough.
