The first club night of the winter/XC season.... only about 10 of us last night... next week will see an influx of new runners as the universities get back into full swing.
We are still on the grass for a couple of weeks, until it gets too dark... last night was a 1km XC loop, running 800mtrs at effort, followed by 200mtrs or so recovery jog.
The reps weren't being timed nor counted, as it was simply a session to get everyone some decent miles in their legs.... some did 3 or 4, myself who is in the middle of hard training did 7, trying desperately to fend off our fastest guy who was trying to lap me on his 8th rep.... if i could've stayed in front until the downhill section i might have held him off, but he caught and passed me across the top and i couldn't pull it back.
9 miles, on top of 6 miles AM.... a solid start to the week with 26 miles so far.
