A bit more scenic than my route
I enjoyed running along the cut today though, its so much better now its been tarmac'd

Did 13 miles round Cov this morning as well...... but around Cannon Park/Warwick Uni/Crackley Woods/Kenilworth Rd area.

Nice and steady, about 1hr42...... we'd all done hard sessions yesterday.

Finally back at it and on track to reach 60km by the end of the week.

We did a session last night of 5 x 1km on the Warwick Uni campus.

2 minute rests between reps.

3:15
3:16
3:14
3:15
3:16

Pretty pleased with that, we did same session in December and i averaged 3:20

But you feel like you're running well, then someone comes flying past running 2:55

Very nice - I hate interval sessions like these, much prefer a long solid block of running.

Another tough session, this time on the track in the Uni, in pretty miserable weather.

5 x 400mtrs (1 minute rests)
1 x 800mtrs (4 minutes rest each side)
5 x 400mtrs (1 minute rests)

Target was 73secs on the 400's (about 15:12 5km pace) but i averaged about 74.5 (about 15:35 pace)
Target was 2:40 on the 800 and i was bang on.

Sessions like this are much easier to stomach if you're in a group.... and i had a guy just in front who was running 71secs, and the guys who started 5secs behind me running 69secs, so it created a good little pack for me to hang on to.

Feel pretty broken this morning but did 3 miles on the treadmill to loosen up.

That's a tough session. How were your targets worked out?

Our coach gives us the targets..... i don't know exactly where they come from, but he's got a book of every time of every rep we've ever done.

I tend to find that the targets on longer reps.... 800mtrs up to a couple of miles.... are about what i'd expect. But i sometimes find the shorter stuff like thursday night, the targets are a bit tough.

But its solid consistent work, well above 5km race pace, so a second here and there is not a disaster.
