A Return To The Same Ole Same Ole

After a week of switchin' up ye olde schedule to get the Track Pentathlon in it's back to the tried and tested format this week,easy 8 miler,4x1 mile repeats,8 mile recovery run,4x400/decathletes mile,14 Sunday long run.

Was pleasently surprized my legs weren't as thrashed as I thought they might be after the pentathlon,maybe laying on my back w/ my legs up for 10/15 minutes after each event helped drain some of the lactic acid off them although the easy 8 miler yestereday and this afternoons 4x1 mile repeats might be a different story.

Did some research on my previous results at the Track Pentathlon,obviously my times in 2010 when I won the event are my best times but Sundays times rank #2 all time,granted in 2011 I was dealing w/ the whole anemia issue and 2012 I think I'd already "checked out" for the year post Nationals but at 50 to be running quicker than when I was 47 and 48 is a feather in my cap

The format for the Track Pentathlon changed in 2011 after the initial:3,000m,800m,200m,1,500m,400m it went to it's current:3,000m,200m,1,500m,100m,400/800m but here are my times from 2010,11,12,14
