400's

Today went to running club and after a 2.5km warm up we got down to business. Perfect weather for running, no wind and not too cold. We did the 400's in sets of 3. I was running with Haftu, Dean and Duggie. For the first set we had a 1 minute recovery between each, but the reps were to be slower. The times for the first set were 76s, 72s, 74s. The 400's also were not on the track. They were on a gravel path which is a 1200 metre loop. The loop also has a hill in it so the first rep of all the 3 sets was always the slowest. After the first set we had 3 minute break and I was feeling pretty good. I have done quite a lot of 400's in the past so the lactic didn't hit me as hard as the others. For the second set we had a 2 minute rest in between each one, but the reps had to be a bit faster. The times were 72s, 68s, and 70s. We then had another 3 minute break before starting the next set. For this set we had a 3 minute break in between each one but the reps had to be faster still. The times were 72s, 66s, and 64s. Really good session, feeling a bit sore in the calves, about 7.3km in all.
