I've done track sessions before but not with my club in a group. Got there early so started warm up was joined by 2 other ladies but they are way quicker than me and i like breathing so i let them go ahead did 6 laps.
Joined by club captain and he had us go through some drills so we did heel flicks, sideways steps, high knees and some strides
Then came the session
3 x (3x 600m) 1 min recoveries, 3 minutes between each set
first time i was there so guess we had no idea how i do so coach put me with two other ladies but managed to runa bit quicker we were joined in our group by 2 other guys so i joined them on the following efforts giving the ladies a little headstart
the times
3:13
2:48
2:52
2:52
2:51

Quite enjoyed it all in a masochistic way and quite pleased the splits were pretty much consistant
Oops, I added 15sec per mile instead of taking it off and finished in 45mins someit.
Legs just didn't have any real speed and I didn't relish the hurt so stopped and walked until Mr K went past at around 4k . I ran along with him trying to get him a sub 45 which didn't quite happen.
Really think that I may have jacked it in at 5K if not for him.Caught up with a few people afterwards and then ran home.
A steady 3.5M in tracksuit / waterproof and backpack at around 9:30 and felt comfortable and able to run forever. Thats the type of running I enjoy.
Which I think has made my decision about whether to go long or fast for me.
Oh and I may pop out for some more miles this evening
Afternoon,
I love those days when running feels easy! I just wish they happened more often. Today was one such day, though, so I'm not complaining. I didn't run fast, but I ran faster than average, and it felt great every step of the way. Always comfortable and always, when I looked at the watch, going slightly faster than I thought I was.
What: 7.5M
Why: Why not?
Last hard: yesterday
Last rest: Thursday
Great grandchildren - surely not!?!? I'm tracing my family tree and have just made contact with a very distant relative (4th cousin) who has shown me some work she has done that has got my family line (the bit that keeps my surname going) back to 1680!!! Wowsers!
Sorry to hear you didnt have a great run Joe.
SML Div 3 west 5000m, B string runner for Andover & Overton, solid race, very windy, came 6th overall, behind a guest runner and 4 other A runners, won B race comfortably by 90 secs. so max points for the club. 0.41, 1.26, 1.28, 1.28, 1.28, 1.28, 1.29, 1.29, 1.30, 1.30, 1.29, 1.28, 1.29 for an 18:29.
Off to do the Dorney / Eton Half tomorrow.
JH - Done Dorney twice and ran poorly on both occasions - sometimes windy, but otherwise uninspiring- especially the last 2k; 'should' be a pb course but rarely is - I don't think pancake flat necessarily makes it ideal - although my first 10k for ages is next weeks Wargrave 10K which is a bit too much the other way.
Good running RFJ - good luck tomorrow - is that 4 laps? - rather you than me.
What: 8 miles steady
Why: keep the weekly milage over 50
Last Hard: Weds track
Last Rest: Monday
Have a good one
Good work Pammie.
Joe - all miles in the bank - enjoy.
SGQ - I did the genealogy thing a while back, and came to England to see where 3 of my gparents came from and went to Denmark to see where the 4th one came from. We are getting descendants from the Danish side come to visit soon. All very interesting.
RFJ - nice win there.
Michael - agree - it is sometimes harder to run a flat course, no relief, just concentration.
NZC - 107M in the bank since last saturday off six days.running. So the lack of speed isn't too surprising.
RFJ - I'll pop over and scream abuse (I mean support) . Its only a couple of miles away. I hope the wind dies down for you.
Pammie, that's a great track session; well done that the reps were so even
& RFJ, amazingly even too
What: 12ml in total but all messed up
Why: wimped out of going to the track at lunchtime, cos of the rain, and the forecast that it would be better later, So 4pm drove to the track and did my warm up on the roads, then went in to pay, and was told there was an event on but it would be finishing soon. Found I could use the throwing cage so did some discus practice. After about an hour the meeting still had not finished, so decided tI'd better go home via the supermarket, or it would be shut, so later ran from home, but not the speed session I mean't to do, cos by now I was rather fed up.
And decisions for tomorrow I've agreed to meet discus coach at 12. I had just resolved to get out for my long run at 8am (ie very early for me), rather than leave it till the afternoon, but looking at the weather forecast, it looks much better for the afternoon.......
