Tough day at the office today. Delighted with the win but it was the first race where I’ve struggled from the start and held on throughout to try and keep it together to scrape a sub 40. Just felt tough from the first mile and only got tougher with the hill. Anyway onwards and upwards.
Splits for the race: 5:49, 6:20, 8:12, 5:57, 6:06 and 6:12.

Easy 4 plus 6 x 100m strides. Probably feeling best I have all week but still not at 100%. Just tried to keep today’s run steady and not too fast. Strides felt good and times were! 21s, 20s, 21s, 19s, 20s and 20s.

Easy Run with 5 x 200m with 30s recovery. Eased off a bit today and feeling slightly better and managed to sharpen up a little during the reps. Time for reps were: 48s, 43s, 47s, 46s and 45s.

Still feeling a little heavier than normal whilst out running and just not feeling 100% and hr higher than probably should be for an easy flat run at the beach with only a moderate breeze.

Tough session this morning and just generally felt sluggish and tired. Conditions were good as it was cool with no breeze. Ran down to beach and out to AECC and used the Parkway for Hill Reps.
Splits were:
Wu: 7:51/mile and 7:35/mile
1 mile @ 6:35/mile - tried to increase the pace but chest congested and going as fast as I could.
6 x 60s Hill Reps: 6:33/mile, 6:25/mile, 6:24/mile, 6:29/mile, 6:32/mile and 6:02/mile - generally eased up a bit throughout the session
1 mile @ 5:52/mile - happy to hit the 10k pace here and comfortable enough
CD: 7:26/mile and 7:25/mile
