Update

Thursday night was running club. It was Haftu, Jasper, Chris and I training, we did 2 x 2400m, followed by 5 x 400m with 60s recovery between each. We dogged Chris on the warm up so after we went through the first lap of the 1200m loop in 4:00, he kicked hard to make us struggle. I started reeling him back in though with 800m to go and got within 4s of him at the end of that rep. Finished in 7:59 so the negative split which was nice. Then 4 minutes off which seemed like too much and onto the next one. Split through the first lap in 4:03, followed by a 4:06 so pretty consistent in 8:09. Then onto the fours on the track, changed shoes and we were off. First one in 72s and felt easy. It's amazing how much easier running on the track is rather than the outside. The rest of the times went, 70s, 67s, 67s, 63s. Absolutely done in by the end but stoked with the results. 11.6km all up.

This morning pretty tired but got out for a session. 4km threshold by myself in 14:21. Felt really good and I had loads left by the end. Focused on my arm movement and tried not to think about the rest. Then did 1km cool down before doing the 10 by 6 x 50m sprints. Bit of speed and lactic which was tough but the last one was in 51s so no worries after the slower stuff. Ran home for 13.5km all together.
