Tue 04 Apr 06, a short track session 4x400, 2x300 & 1x200

6km today and 29km for the week so far. 4/4 runs this month & 73/94 runs for the year

A later start than normal at the track tonight as I was on a course for work in the CBD today and then luckily made it to the petrol station for fuel, 59 litres in my 60 litre tank............

I arrived at the track just after 5:30pm, changed and straight into five laps of the track, with the final lap involving some plymetric drills, then some stretches and 5x60m strides. No Burkie tonight, he has made his way down the coast to clear his head and to read some books for a few days and good luck to him! Changed into my flats and thought I would run 5/6x400, with 2 min break, aiming for 73 seconds.

As the session progressed I decided to make a few slight changes and reduce a couple of the reps distance but with a slight increase in tempo.

Splits: (no decimals tonight had to borrow a watch)
400m - 72
400m - 73
400m - 73
400m - 74
300m - 52
300m - 52
200m - 33

Finished off with a 400m walk and then 2 & a bit laps for a cool down when I was asked to pose for a pic for the local paper with 2 other guys from the Club who raced at the Masters in the O65 and O50s.
