Club night tonight. After xc and the Roaches at the weekend, I'd considered giving it a miss, but thought I'd give it my all and then keep it steady for the rest of the week.
4 x 200m, 4 x 400m, 4 x 200m, all off 90secs rest.
5 mins rest.
Repeat session again with 60secs rest.
After starting steadily, I felt pretty decent. Was running well up to the 2nd 400m on the 2nd set, and halfway through the rep I just lost it and couldn't push it any more. Lost about 300 metres over the remainder of the session to the guy I was shadowing (a guy I'd usually be ahead of anyway). I knew things were looking bleak, as I was struggling to cover the 100 metres "active recovery" (I.e a walk/jog) in the allotted 60secs recovery time!
So definitely need to keep it steady before the Wrekin Wrecker on Sunday, a very tough outing which needs fresh legs if I'm to be getting a pb.
7.5 miles today, of which about 3 miles can be considered good hard effort.
