Crush The Meek,The Fleet Of Foot Will Inherit The Earth!!!

And The Meek Shall Inherit The Earth
Overture-Rush

Happy Earth Day! While not your A typical "tree hugging hippy" I do care about the planet,I recycle,use low watt bulbs,don't use aerosol spray and IF I drove I'd like to think I'd drive a Hybrid,we only have one planet and we should look after it..........

If it's Tuesday{and my hamstring isn't acting up!!!}then it's repeats at Roxborough,the bill o fare last nite was the always challenging 6x600m repeats,last time out on April 1st I went:1.13-37=1.50.5 1.13.-37=1.50.5
1.14-38=1.52.2 1.16-38=15.4.3 1.17-37=1.54.5 ???-??=1.54.5
Obviously I wanted to better those marks.....and also get the repeat in w/out those annoying CYO brats clogging up the track and costing me my final set of 400m and 200m splits.
Out to Roxborough by 4.40pm grey overcast skies but no rain which after last weeks deluge for my 4x1 mile repeats was a blessing,mile warm up,stretch and have at it time.

#1 600m
1.11-37=1.48.1
As is my won't irregardless of which set off repeats I'm doing a brisk opener,the question now was could I hold onto that pace or would it come back to bite me in the arse b4 sessions end?

#2 600m
1.13-37=1.50.1
A brief mental lapse between 200m and 300m probably cost me a sub 1.50 here,as each week rolls by I hope to get better not just physically but mentally.

#3 600m
1.14-35=1.49.7
Too soon to tell if a 6x600m at 1.50 and under was on the cards this early on in training but you know moving forward that's a goal.

#4 600m
1.16-36=1.52.4
As this is only my 4th 6x600m repeat all year it's not unexpected to see a 1.16 opening 400m creep in,at least I responded over the closing 200m to keep things semi respectable

#5 600m
1.16-35=1.51.4
Told myself to relax and stay focused on #5 and not panic if the 400m split was 1.16 again,one more left

#6 600m
1.16-35=1.51.4
Not sure about dajavu but it's ironic #5 and #6 finished up identical.

Overall I'm pleased w/ the performance,a 13 second improvement on three weeks ago which moving forward is what I'm looking for,there's still work to  be done but I feel alot better about my repeats than i did earlier in the year when it was very hit and miss trying to access a track consitany is proving as ever to be clutch
