Wednesday session 19 Feb
![[Deleted User]](https://w9.vanillicon.com/91cc7dbf085bda2619d23e1a8ff2bd35_100.png)
As usual in the days leading up to a few days off, time is starting to catch up with me with the result that my days generally extend to 12 or more hours working - leaving minimal time for exercise.
Arrived home at 9:00 last night so instead of scheduled run opted for sharp 5k on the treadmill. This is actually one of my favorite sessions starting at 12 kph and then adding 0.5 kmh every three minutes, and therefore hitting 15.5 kmh just before the 5 k mark. The session requires real concentration in the latter stages to avoid flying off the back of the treadmill!
Today: Cross training, whatever I can squeeze in.
Why: Heavy work load
Last hard: Yesterday
Last rest: Friday

Meant to say at my gym they have changed all the treadmills-supposedly new all singing & dancing versions.

Now I know thats reasonably fast but its only my target 5k pace and certainly slower than the 400m reps I like to do (around 84secs/3:30kms)..........
