Speedwork at B & MH, 6 Miles approx
I went down to Down Grange at Basingstoke to do some speedwork with Martin & Barry's group. The session consisted on 10 to 15 minutes of grass reps (12:30's worth for myself!) 15 seconds fast, 15 seconds recovery. By my estimation I was doing the fast work at approximately 70 second 400m pace. Working to that assumption, the session would appear as below:2 Miles Warmup (blue NB 832's)
12:30 of 15 seconds on, 15 seconds off - 1.4 Miles approx. (Saucony Fastwitch)
2.5 Miles Cooldown (Saucony Fastwitch)
5.9 Miles Total

It was probably the sharpest session I've ever done! I won't say the hardest, as last weeks hill rep's have to take that honor (by the sheer virtue of a bloody great hill!). Got totally toasted by the MD boys, which wasn't really surprising on a session of this nature, plus I'd hardly allowed myself to go into it fresh, but then its only training! Martin said that he & Barry felt that fitness clearly wasn't a problem, but it was apparent that I wasn't comfortable at that pace, no rhythm I belief the term was. They both seem confident they can help me significantly improve my training/times though, which is obviously reassuring!
The knee I was complaining about this morning has got a lot better, I feel it more during the slow stuff than the quick stuff (God bless Endorphins!). Sometimes it feels like a blister between the skin and the knee cap, which I'm sure is impossible! At others, the soft tissue to the medial side of the right patella seems irritated. The solution is the same, whatever the cause - I'm going to stuff a couple of rest days in (better safe than very, very sorry).
I'm representing B & MH in their home Southern Men's league fixture, B string 5k (I'll take any string, me!), so I'm going to bring some old training logs with me and email Martin the URL to this weBLOG in the mean time (Hello Martin & Barry!). Hopefully I shall be with programme sometime soon... Show/Hide this post [+/-]
