Big Kenyan Session

Today went up to running club at 8 in the morning. It was just me and Chris today as we wanted to watch Haftu race after we had trained. We decided to do a Kenyan Fartlek session, so after a 2.5km warm up we got into it. We were running around the outside of a big grass oval for a bit of a change so that was good. Kenyan Fartlek is a group of 2 minutes hard then 2 minutes jog reps then a group of 1 minutes hard then 1 minute jog. We did 8 reps of the 2 minute groups(32minutes) then 10 reps of the 1 minute groups(20 minutes). Started off and felt good, we took it in turns to lead each rep. The wind, however, was disgraceful. 120km per hour gusts The fifth 2 minute rep felt tough, but I pushed through and the next 3 felt solid. After a 4 minute break we started the 1's.  Felt good again, but occasionally we went into the wind for a whole 1 minute which was tough going. Finished the session and did a cool down. About 15.5km in all.
