2 sets of: hip flexor stretch - 10 seconds each leg overhead squats with broomstick 10 situps 10 back extensions 5 pullups 5 dips
then:
Clean & Jerk 1-1-1-1-1-1-1
All reps done at 40kg. Took a 60 second rep between each. Went up easier than the Push-jerks earlier in the week. Split stance is a more comfortable finish as well.
7 miles very easy this morning... 62 minutes. Felt like crap after work, so I needed a relaxing recovery run down by the sea with some sunshine and gentle breeze.

This morning:
Sunday, 11.23.08: 2 min Lactate Flood
Goal is to use maximum effort for 2 min interval.
120:60 x 6 or 2 min on 1 minute off x 6.
I managed 2.12 miles in the 12 minutes of running. Felt very sick at various points.

Keep going Paul...
surely sub 30 for the Victory 5? (the way you are training!)
Did my PB there...but pray it's not Windy!!!!
Can a recovery run be too slow?
The objective being to give the legs a stretch and disperse some potential soreness??
<sets table>... knife, fork, plate.........stopwatch.
sorry....back to topic!
Cheers simon, it's a great course, but you're right about the weather being a bugger if it sets in!
How should I be doing my recoveries for 400s then? Previously i've just stood for a set period of time... and not actually continued at any pace.

5 x 5 Deadlifts - 60, 70, 80, 90, 100
