If last weeks 5x1,000m debut was me testing the waters then today was a full blown cannonball into the deep end,w/ no apologies to anybody caught in the splashes I created!!
As is my won't on a Friday I was able to conduct my workout b4 lunchtime,granted I had to deal w/ the heat but given the track would be off limits after 2.30pm for either women's field hockey or lacrosse it was the lesser of two evils,I'll take the noon sun over not being able to workout any day.
1,000m#1,1.14,1.18,40-3.12.54.After learning what pace I should be looking for throughout last week I told myself go out at 1.16-1.18 pace,so initially I thought my opening lap of 1.14. was too brisk................
1,000m#2,1.14,1.18,39-3.11.34.Very nearly a carbon copy of my opener,already after only 2 repeats I was in better form than last week.
1,000m#3,1.16,1.18,38-3.12.63.I was amazed at how consistent I'd been so far,could I keep it up?
1,000m#4,1.16,1.17,37-3.10.80.this was now scary consistent,I'm not used this level of Constancy in repeats....but I could grow to embrace it.
1,000m#5,1.19,1.21,34-3.14.70.while I was feeling the pace on the opening two laps there was no denying my ability to "bring it"in the final 200m.
15.59.for my combined time compared to last weeks 16.19.
This was a good workout for me,next week is an abridged week due to racing Sunday but you can best believe come next Friday lunchtime I'll be ready to tackle this repeat again and hopefully run it consistently and not have a final repeat slowdown.
