Thursday - 16 x 400m (off 30") (am) + 8km recovery (pm)

A brand new session for me. I had to respect it, as 16 is a hell of a lot of reps, and 30 seconds is barely any rest. I tried to be conservative, and, apart from a very slight mid session slump, I was fairly consistent. Although running south (the evens) was consistently faster than running North (the evens) - I ran these on the cycle path between Hemingways and North Steyne SLSC. Times were 73.9, 74.4, 78.8, 76.5, 70.3, 75.9, 79.1, 74.7, 78.5, 76.3, 78.6, 77.5, 78.9, 78.9, 80.5, and 77.9. Not sure that the odds were very accurate. Nevertheless, a very solid session, 77.5 second. Obviously slower than what I would traditionally run 400's - but I generally do not run as many with so little rest. I feel that this session really highlighted my weaknesses, which is a good thing. Very happy to get it done! A longer cool-down for 17km all up. Absolutely beautiful day out there!

Another double, getting out just before a late lunch. Ran the beachfront at Manly. 8km in 4:37's. Will aim to run this slower from now on.
