When Life Gives You Lemons.......

Fueled by a fire created in my opinion by the gods having a laugh at my expense I arrived at Franklin Field on somewhat of a mission.
The plan tonite was 4x600m,the idea was to reduce the volume but also reduce the target time,1.42,in time I,ll move back up to 6x600m at 1.42 and would imagine eventually drop my target time to 1.40 and prehaps below.....that sub 4 minute mile GP and I talked about Sunday won,t just happen I,ll have to work for it.
Following my stretches and mile warm up and mile of strides it was time to in the words of T Rex"Get It On"
After weeks of 400s at 59,60,61 seconds on paper a 68 second opening 400m followed by a 32 second closing 200m shouldn,t have been a problem,however I knew I had had to show up tonite,I couldn,t just mail it in
I opened briskly,67 seconds at 400m and a 30 second 200m,1.37.80,I knew I needed to ease off a little which lead to my downfall,whileI,d been able to focus on shorter repeats of 150/100/150 on my In and Out 400s over the last 5 weeks it was a lesson in concentration tonite to focus on 600m and I was guilty of letting my mind turn off on the bottom bend of the first lap,72 seconds at the bell I knew I,d have my work cut out for me now,a 32 second closing 200m gave me a 1.44.25,if I hadn,t opened quite so briskly prehaps I,d have had the legs for a 1.42 repeat on #2,oh well.
W/ my focus now 100% I opened repeat #3 w/ a 70 second 400m b4 closing w/ a 32 second 200m,1.42.40 that,s ,more like it!and I ended the session w/ an almost identical repeat,71 for the opening 400m,31 seconds for the closing 200m,1.42.91.
Not a bad nites work as I begin my off season,start as you mean to go on I believe
