Speedwork at 'the Grange' - 10 x 400m (6.25 Miles Total)
I went down 'the Grange' to run a speedwork session. The temperature was in the 80's (Fahrenheit), which put a different perspective on things. I'd been repairing the computer all day, so I felt a little tired going into it, but I was pleasantly surprised with how it turned out:
1 Mile Warmup in new NB 832's
10 (9 in actuality) x 400m, 60 second recoveries, in Nike Zoom Ventulus
66, 66, 69, 69, 70, 71, 71, 71, Skipped a rep, 69 = 69.12 average
3 Mile Cooldown in new NB 832's
6.25 Miles Total
I felt fresh-ish, but my movements felt very tight, so much so I was surprised how fast I was shifting during the earlier reps. I need to get some more orthodox track work/faster work back under my belt to make 'fast range of motion' more comfortable (symptoms: weakness sore hip flexors, no hamstring 'snap'). Due to the heat I was absolutely exhausted after the eighth rep, so I thought I'd end my session there. However, after the 3 minute recovery available before the 10th repetition, I felt able to have a dig at the last rep. I'm not too sure about the true validity of the lap times, as I used Barry's timings, and I reckon he might have been a touch generous at times (not that I didn't appreciate it mate!!!).
