Speedwork at B & MH, 10 x 400m, 5 Miles approx
Yet another weird session for me down the Grange. The assigned session was 10 x 400m off 1 minute recoveries.What I achieved differed somewhat:1 Mile Warmup in new NB 832's
5 x 400m in Nike Zoom Ventulus
[67, 68, 68, 68, 70]
3 Mile Cooldown in new NB 832's
5.25 Miles Total

I got pulled out after the fifth repetition, as I was absolutely on the floor. What characterized the session for me was an unrelenting ache from my quadriceps, and an almost instantaneous sensation of dehydration. The race at the weekend obviously has taken more out of me than I could have accounted for. From a purely muscular point of view, running 6 miles with severely reduced levels of co-ordination resulting from extreme dehydration cant do the legs much good!
Mind you, it's the second session in a row I've pulled out or modified. I wonder if that says something about me/my mentality, or am I just reading into it too much? Perhaps I'm just expecting too much from myself?
I'm just going to concentrate on getting my legs recovered for Saturday's 5k race for the rest of the week. Enough flogging myself for now.
On a more positive note, my modification to Saturday's session (necessitated by the severe weather) was met by approval by Barry, thus it appears I got the right idea when it comes to adapting sessions for the ambient conditions. That's one confidence booster to draw from the days events. Show/Hide this post [+/-]
