Over to Temple by 11.35am, a little later than I would have liked but maybe that was for the best as when I arrived there were about twenty Marine cadets doing some sort of workouts/drills on the track and eventually on the infield......I'm reasonable tough but I'm not crazy enough to pick a fight w/ 20 people period much less Marines no sir!
By the time I did my mile warm up and got into my flats they were all but done so no harm no foul and no broken bones or bruises for yours truly!!!
Last time out on May 31st over 5x1,000m I went:
1.17-1.21-35=3.13.2
1.19-1.21-36=3.16.3
1.17-1.22-36=3.15.2
1.20-1.22-37=3.19.1
1.19-1.22-35=3.16.1
A tall order to duplicate or even better but here at the businesss end of my training for Nationals is where you either go big or go home!!!
#1 1,000m
1.16-1.19-35=3.10.8
A lively start to proceedings,the question was could I hold onto that pace over the next four 1,000s????
#2 1,000m
1.17-1.21-36=3.14.4
Five seconds to the good from last time out was this the dat I got my first sub 3.15 set of 1000s????
#3 1,000m
1.21-1.24-35=3.20.6
NO!!! my legs felt like the Spaghetti I cooked last nite for my Spaghetti Bolognese and now I had two more repeats to tackle.....the Spaghetti may've been sticking to the wall last nite but it was now replaced by the writing!!!
#4 1,000m
1.24-.1.24-37=3.26.8
Live by the sword,die by the sword I was now paying the price for going out too hard on #1,I thought I could live w/ that pace over 5x1,000m today.....I was wrong!
#5 1,000m
1.24-1.26-33=3.23.3
Closing in 33 seconds is cold comfort off of 400m splits of 1.24-1.26 even if it is the fastest closing 200m I've looged over 1,000m repeats all season.
Having knocked 13 seconds off my previous 5x1,000m last time out to run 14 seconds slower today was obviously a huge disappointment but like I always say this isn't "Roy Of The Rovers" and I can't win every week,my final repeat b4 Nationals on July 5th is 5x1,000m it'd be nice to redeem myself after todays effort
