In recent weeks a group of Special Olympians have been working out at Temple on Saturday mornings and while they have as much right to the track as anybody having to swing wide of them on the back straight can be an issue and while I was able to circumnavigate them last week on the mile repeats today on the 300s and 200s where hugging the inside lane is almost a must I thought it best to maybe wait till after 1pm to arrive at the track,it was a hunch that paid off as they were gone by the time I arrived at 1.05pm and I more or less had the inside lane to myself.
By waiting till gone 12pm b4 leaving home I was able to cop the Championship Playoff Final between QPR and Derby,I was hoping Arry's boys would win to keep six London clubs in the Premiership following Fulhams relegation and thanks to a 90th min goal it'll be Spurs,Palace,Chelski,QPR,wet spam and arsenal in the top flight come August.........#shitloadoflondonderbies
Mile warm up taken care of it was have at it time,last time out on April 26th I went:
51.6 32.3 50.9
52.4 32.7 50.9
50.8 32.8 51.4
51.9 33.6 52.1
52.3 34.3 53.1
53.2 33.6 52.6
52.4 33.5 52.4
52.3 33.9 51.8
Today I went:
49.9 31.9 50.5
50.6 33.0* 51.9
51.0 32.4 51.9
52.1 33.2 53.9
52.6 33.5 52.1
53.0 34.4 52.4
52.9 34.2 53.2*
53.2 34.2 51.5
To the naked eye they probably look very similar but upon "crunching the numbers" I came up at four seconds slower,the reason for the * on my second 200m and fourteenth 300m was the fact I was slightly impeded at the start of the 200m and finish of the 300m in both cases I should;ve had a 32 second 200m and 52 second 300m which would have put me at negative two seconds.
Either way over twenty four repeats to be only two or four seconds off isn't too shabby and while I only have one more monster 8x300x200x300m repeats session on tap b4 Nationals it will be returning to the rotation post Wake Forest, to quote Nietzsche "What doesn't kill me makes me stronger"
