O.k, my sessions since my last post were:
Thurs: 50km cycle (1hr 50)
Fri: Rest
Sat: Rest
Sun: 6 x 100m/60sR.
This session went much, much better than the last time I tried this. Legs felt fresh and after a 200m warm up and a good stretch I was ready to go. I was tired by the end but not flat out and although I was working hard throughout I would describe it is as ââ¬Ëcontrolled discomfortââ¬â¢ rather than just running as hard as I could for each rep.
Splits were:
3:59/3:58/3:54/4:01/3:59/3:56
My planned sessions for the next week are:
Mon: 30 mins easy
Tue: 3 x 5 mins at race pace
Wed: Rest
Thurs: 6 x 1 mins fast
Fri: Rest
Sat: Rest
Sun: Race
Iam not expecting anything great from this race but will be happy anything under 43,very happy with anything under 42 and delighted with anything under 41.
