Training Log Archive: Nobs

In thick light green/green woodland, trees close together, tough underfoot hard to get any speed up. Aimed for race pace, probably ran further, watch didn't pick up all my movements as I was zig zagging a lot, probably well over 3km. My terrain speed and confidence has been my weak point this season so need to do a few of these.....

Just after terrain run, legs felt a bit heavy but made it through at a decent enough pace, probably was working a bit hard though.....

First 1500m of season, went off too fast 400m in 64sec and 800m in 2:22. That was sort of my target pace but my legs just have no speed at the minute, so fell off really badly in the last lap. 4:39 is slow but think I can probably go faster than 4:30 this season...

Got a 1500m and possibly 400m race on weekend so needed to do a bit of speed work. Very short but still felt the burn..
100m 200m 400m 200m 100m
Destroyed the field in the 400m ;)

Down hill and back up. Very easy on way down, tried to up pace a little back up. Legs feeling OK, fairly fresh but a bit tired from intervals yesterday...

6x1km @ 5k/10k pace
Did the first rep way too fast so was a bit dead in the last couple. Times all over the place, probably more as a result of overcrowded track, kept getting blocked by little children. Some I wasn't blocked and times were about right, felt fairly good apart from a stitch in the last 2 reps which made things a bit painful....

3:06, 3:23, 3:33, 3:27, 3:40, 3:37

low 3:30s was what I was aiming for, and that's sort of what I got when I didn't get blocked, the 3:40 was where I got boxed in by about 30 small children doing 300m reps conveniently just slower than the pace I wanted to go and too wide to overtake....
