really good session designed by and with Coach Hoggster. laps of aranda oval doing 1 lap hard (aiming for 100secs) and then half a lap float (60secs). foot pod said total distance was 5.5k which seemd about right. really noticeable how a little speed difference made it much harder for me - i.e. float was very doable no matter how hard the interval had been but the interval was always hard. kept pace well and good race training as had head down and was going hard. helped a lot having andy either on my outside or a few strides in front. felt like a real athlete - pity i'm still so slow c.f. with real athletes! splits with hr avg/max in brackets.
