In the gym for 50 minutes, lots of chest, upper back, arms & core with Tania & Steph.

Right...my group are in rest at the moment and I have had an enforced break, so its time to get going and start training. So the plan was David and I would meet at 5pm at the track, warm up, maybe do some strides etc and then ran 4x1k in 4:05-15 with an unplanned recovery time.
Bugger all at the track...thank goodness, minimal witnesses. :) We started with two laps of the Complex and then some gentle stretches and 5x100m strides. To set the scene there is a bit of wind and it sunny and warm (31 degrees) and neither David or I are fit and both haven't done a lot of endurance reps in quite awhile...
First rep, 4:01, yay us, we survived...we floated approx 200m on the grass back to the start point. 2nd rep, 4:05....fuck it is hot and the breeze in the back straight is annoying but we continue on and both agree we need to calm the pace a bit. The third rep we do survive 4:12 ish and we know there is only one more to go, but what the F is the go...since when did this become so hard? The 4th & final rep happens 4:12 again and we are both happy that it is all over.
We finish off with a couple of slow laps and a few stretches before calling it a night.
Note: finally 500km for 2009...

poor stu- at least you persevered
And you're suggesting I include 1k reps! Meanie.
Actually, it was a good suggestion... BUT this time, when I do them, I'll be strict about doing them around 10k race-pace (4:20), not the anerobic 4:00s that I can do. They're too hard!
Happy 21st again by the way.
