A few days off

I haven't run the past few days, a few reasons; the boys stayed for a few days, allowing the legs to freshen & to rest a niggle.

Thursday night at the track; the planned set was 3 sets of 4x200m @ 36 sec with a 100m float recovery (60 sec) and 4 minute break between sets. Due to a very windy evening we were going to dodge the back straight but I didn't want to change the session for the group so we started at the 200m start, then jogged back to the start of the 100m straight then floated into the headwind on the back straight, which worked.

My splits:

• 35.25 / 35.51 / 34.90 / 35.32
• 36.01 / 36.09 / 35.00 / 35.31
• 35.43 / 35.43 / 35.43 / 34.21

I thought this would have been harder to be honest, in hindsight I should have done a 4th set. So next time the set is planned I will do a 4th set and consider reducing the set recovery to 3 minutes, this would work for me, but maybe not some of the teenagers.

With 4 lap w/up, strides and 2 lap c/down, a 6km set.
