Monday
7km-33:20 (4:46kms) With Action and Cam The Bay
Not feeling the best, both boys sick. Perched on the edge, took a rest day, no risks now.
Tuesday
1400m-4:04.0, 3x150m (rolling starts/250m walk) 18.9, 17.7, 17.5
Had planned on doing a 2km TT with Tom but not feeling the best, nothing good was going to happen if I did a max effort today. I didn't want to let Tom down so decided on running with him for 1200m as it was pretty windy as usual. I felt comfortable so carried on an extra 200m into the wind to 1400m. Tom ran well only dropping 1sec in the last 600m for 5:51, a touch quicker than 2 years ago in worse conditions.
Pleased with how it felt, suspect I'm close to 1500m pb shape not that I have any intention of racing one. More surprising were the 150s, felt great, a little unco on the 2nd rep but learnt fast as the 3rd rep was faster with less effort.
No reason you shouldn't be in good shape, you've got a good winter behind you and with Monday pretty much a rest day... I think you need a 3000m on your race card, that is a soft PB and you should be able to dip 9 min! Then what about a 5000m to give yourself a PB.
ReplyDeleteNo plans of a 3000m or 5000m, plan at the end of last season was to not chase results in long races and I feel like it's paid dividends. Opening the season Sat week, aiming to peak in 7 weeks just before Xmas, then a 3 week aerobic top up, then peak again for March State Champs. Happy enough with under and over distance, looking forward to the next 7 weeks of specific work.
