Hi!
Yesterday I couldn't go to the track to do the 10x400m session because it's being used by the athletes participating in the IAAF World Junior Championships as the training zone (more on this later!) so I did them in the mill at the gym.
As I find running at fast paces on the mill a little bit dangerous I started a little bit slower than prescribed and went catching up the pace at the last intervals where I felt more confident. Results:
1:23
1:21
1:20
1:18
1:18
1:17
1:17
1:16
1:16
1:15
This is more or less accurate since I was pending of slowing down the mill, pulsing the lap button, etc.. also I have no HR data of the session because the HR strap was so messed up I wasn't even trying to use it again. BTW, just when I arrived home back from the gym, I received my new strap. I asked Garmin for a replacement last Friday and got it yesterday by certified mail! This strap maybe pretty crappy lasting no more than 6 months but at least Garmin service is amazing!
Ok, more interesting than this I guess, after the workout I went with some friends to the Estadi OlÃ*mpic Lluis Companys to see the World Junior Championships!! It was amazing to see this young elite guys flying in the 10.000, Ethiopian Yigrem Demelash won with 28:16.07 followed by the Kenyans :wow:
