Track at Chev ~~ Finally beating VP!

I took a rest day yesterday so as not to have two 'hard' days following each other, so it was over to Chevalier College for today's track session.  A surprisingly cold (12 degrees) and windy day after all the warm and sunny weather of late.  The oval had been marked for football, so with no lanes at all to guide me, I ran just inside the boundary fence where the grass was a bit long, the ground bumpy and with several pot-holes for the unwary to trip in...which I did twice, going over on an ankle, until I learned where NOT to run!  I reset the Garmin before each rep. for lap distance and time.

Program  :
10-20 min warm-up
1200, 1000, 800, 600, 400, 200
(200m RI)
10 min cool-down.

Warm-up + Strides!

Based on a 33 min time for 5km, program times were :

 7:40;  6:20;  5:03;  3:46;  2:29;       no time on the program for 200m so I just made a dash for it!

My Times  : 7:38 (76-81%);  6:19 (76-81%); 4:55 (76-84%); 3:43 (75-82?%); 2:20 (73-83%); 60 secs. (71-82%).

Basing reps on a slower 5km time (from 31 to 33 min for the time being), I was quite comfortably able to stay ahead of VP for all distances!  Very happy with that!

2.5km warm-up + 4 Strides with drills + Program + 1km cool-down

For Today.....7.7km
