Hard Session

Yesterday went to running club after school for a tough session. We did 2.5k warm up really slow then stretches. We then did Pyramid training. That is 1 minute 3:15 km pace and then 1 minute slow jogging. Then 2 minutes hard, 1 minute slow, 3 minutes hard, 1 minute slow, 4 minutes hard, 1 minute slow and then back down again. There was a big group of people last night so the atmosphere was really good. We all started the session together, all 9 of us and by the end of the 1st 2 minute hard rep we had dropped 3 people. It was Chris, Haftu, Tom, Dean and I up the front. We took it in turns to lead for each of the hard reps. I pulled the short straw and was given a 4 minute interval to lead. I pushed quite hard because I was nervous of going to slow, that probably didn't help. Kept up with the others until the 2nd 2 minute rep and was about 5 metres behind when the clock stopped. On the last 1 minute rep we pushed really hard they dropped me again and ended up about 15 metres behind with Dean. Very hard session as the recovery wasn't very long, but it was good. It was about 10.8km in all.
