Surprise, surprise, it was cool today and bloody windy at the VU track, so annoying! I arrived just a few minutes after 5pm and a few of the younger guys had already started and they prefer to do their w/up on the track where I and the other older guys prefer the dirt trail, softer. Myself, Adam & Cookie did 3 laps of the complex and then we joined in with Daniel, Pierre, Troy & Blair (another new teenager boy, excellent). We did 5x60m strides with the wind at our back, excellent, all concentration on form.
With the strong winds in Melbourne today (well at least in the West) we cancelled our 800s and went for a 200m endurance session, 25x400m in 43ish seconds with a jogging recovery, we crossed the infield but had to go the long way to dodge the throwers chucking hammers and discuss more than 50m (bugger those really good throwers) :-) .
The watch I wore tonight has only 27 laps so I don't have any record of all 25 reps and recoveries, here are the final 14 reps:
41.3, 44.1, 42.8, 43.4, 43.3, 43.3, 44.6, 43.7, 42.8, 43.9, 41.5, 41.4, 42.1, 39.8
The first 11 reps were all between 41-43 sec, the recoveries were on average between 63 - 70ish seconds, some were slower due to waiting for other groups to pass. A really good session, with a good size group, we shared the lead and worked well together. Finished off with a 200m walking cool down and then 3 laps in the outside lanes.

25x400m with jogging recovery... wow .... wow... that seems like a massive session! i can't wait till im allowed to do that
You'd better tell jojo it was only 200m ;) Still, that's 5k at about 17:30 pace - good session!
Having hammers flying around is a good way to keep you alert.
