5 x 1200's

Today, in France, didn't have school as lessons were cancelled. Pretty chilly today, but no wind so that was an advantage. Haven't been able to run the last 2 days school finishes so late, by the time I get home it's pitch black and dropping below freezing. For my 1200's, I chose a 1200m stretch of road going past my French correspondent's house and ran back and forth along it. A really hill bit of road with a major hill and 2 medium sized ones going each way. Still haven't quite recovered from jet lag so woke up feeling pretty knackered already. Did a 2km warm up then got into it. First on went alright having to face the lesser of the 2 major hills on this rep. Managed 4:14 so alright. Next one was tough pulling a 4:19, but the next one I got a 4:12. Felt a bit sick by this time, the fatigue from jet lag taking its toll. Next was 4:22 so not great. Pushed on the final rep and got 4:17 so not too bad of a session on a very hilly route and starting tired. 1km cool down for 9k all up. This time next week will be over the jet lag and training might creep up to usual standard.
