Light Intervals, and beyond

Met up with Sugar who looked fresh after his week off down south. A easier session planned to adjust the body to 5K pace but with stressing the body. 6x200, 4x400m, 6x200m on 1min and 2min. I reckon Sugar is in for a beauty on Thursday.

Felt relaxed for the session but there was a tendency for the legs to want to move a bit faster and the lungs work harder as well. I'll have to leave that for Thursday. Had a massage yesterday so the benefits of that should kick in tomorrow.

Beyond: Over the next few weeks I have another session of hill reps to work on my core strength and running form. Total k's should start o hover around 80k fo rthe next few weeks.

18.06..Good first Effort

Had a solid run this morning which I am pleased with. The official results say I ran 18.16 but my watch read 18.06 so I'll stay with that. Great morning morning and despite the shitty course (running on/off the Windan Bridge 4 times) I ran fairly solid. My last k was the fastest which gives me confidence in the State 5k in 3 weeks time to both start a little quicker and bring it home a little further out.

Biscuitman was running so fast our there there were crumbs all over the path! He's in great form (mental note..get fitter before racing that guy!)

Have another 5k latter this week on the track so hopefully sub-18 may be on the money.
