Sonic Reducer

When GP suggested a reduction in volume in my weekly workouts that would allow me to stick to my tried and tested 600m and mile repeats I was eager to go along w/ it,again falling into that "creature of habit"mindset I didn,t want to go into my final week of workouts choping and changing repeats,at least by sticking to the regular routine if not the regular amount of repeats I could gauge my workouts against what I,m used to doing week in week out.
A delightfully warm evening on tap,I,d worked up a good sweat after my mile warm up and mile of strides and dispite a queasy uneasy feeling in my stomach I was ready to go.
Dispite the reduction in repeats the game plan was to go out in 1.10 400m pace and clock between 31 and 33 second pace for the closing 200m for 1.41-1.43 splits.
I opened w/ a 69 second 400m b4 closing w/ a 32 second 200m to clock 1.41.27,very much a case of start as you mean to go on,I was guilty of lettting my mind wander off into left field on the opening 400m but stung myself into focus as I clocked 1.10 b4 another closing 200m of 32 seconds 1.42.55.
Another 1.10 400m b4 a closing 200m in 33 seconds,1.43.29,and now for that oh so rare feeling of only one more 600m to go at #4,a 69 second opening 400m b4 a third 32 second closing 200m,1.41.64.
Very much a case of job done and hopefully the begining of a week of solid training,next up on the track 3x 1 mile repeats following tomorrows easy 5 mile recovery run.
