Oh dear

not a very good session last night.

8 by 400 with 200 float recovery on the grass track out in Berwick.

Felt pretty crappy during the warm up and then started to quietly sob when the session was announced :lol:

The instruction was to run at somewhere between 3000 and 5000 metre race pace, I did, so why was it so crappy?

Every rep was a struggle and I couldn’t settle in to a comfortable pace, my stupid dumb heavy legs felt like they belonged to someone else. Despite feeling that I was gradually slowing down every rep was run pretty much at the same pace, 4:20.

Oh yeah, and I pulled out after 6 reps, it was either that or I vomit.

I never do that, I can’t even remember the last time I couldn’t complete a session.

Sometimes you just have a crappy day no point in dwelling on it too much, it’s coming up to that time of the month so I guess it’s to be expected.

I couldn’t get my act together for a run in the relative cool of the morning so I just got back from 10km in the not so cool of the afternoon.

5000 metres on the agenda tomorrow afternoon

and the forecast is for 35 degrees :shock:

I might save the PB crack for another day.

Back to work on Monday, ick.

  1. I think it’s only supposed to be 31 now, so that PB should be a dead cert ;)

  2. I hope it’s not that hot – makes it hard to PB, but you never know, so head out at PB pace. Good to hear the Ikea back has settled down.
