Workout #1...Freezing @ Track!

Now, at 2:00pm it's 4.9 degrees outside!  This has to be one of the coldest days here :  as well as freezing it's also windy and wet, but the show must go on, as they say in show business!  So off to Renwick I went and jogged out a 1200m course on the lonely, windy, wretched, wet streets!

Program  :  10-20 min warm-up
2x1200m in 7:04
4x800m in 4:39
10 min cool-down.

That was the program... this is what I did :

1.5km warm-up...incl measuring a 1200m course around the streets

2x1200m :  7::34, Avg 6:19m/k, AHR 79%;    7:23, Avg 6:07m/k, AHR 75%.

4x 800m  :  4:58, Avg 6:08m/k, AHR 74%;    4:54, Avg 6:09m/k, AHR 74%

                       5:00, Avg 6:16m/k, AHR 74%;     4:52, Avg 6:05m/k, AHR 75%

1.5k freeze-down!

I didn't use VP for any repeats....for one thing, visibility was poor trying to see the watch face and besides that.....I didn't want to see him ahead of me on such a horrible day....too depressing!  All things considered though, I wasn't disappointed with the session; in fact I was thrilled that I'd made it outside at all!



Total 8.6km on a miserable Mittagong day!

 Whenever I type 'Mittagong', the spell-check wants to change it to 'Chittagong'!  There might be such a place; I'll Google it and find out.  Might be warmer there than it is here today!

OMG!  There is a place called Chittagong, in  Bangladesh, and it most certainly would be warmer than Mittagong....and more crowded!

  1. Wow! You'd have a hard time doing a track workout on those streets! Give me somewhere between Mittagong's frozen track and Chittagoing's warm crowded one!

  2. Absolutely agree! I wonder where? 'Somewhere over the rainbow'?
