4/10/15

Thu 4/9 - PM 70 minutes incl. 6x1600

Longfellow loop. In theory I would have liked to go for 8 reps but at this point that's an awfully tough ask for a weekday after work I'm afraid. The conditions were also a factor, as the dismal trend of the past two days continued and in fact worsened. Steady ill wind blowing with drizzle and cold temps, absolutely miserable. Another day with highs a solid 15 degrees below normal for this time of year. The wind had an adverse effect on the even-numbered reps, as expected. Made a conscious effort to stay under control for the first half of each rep which made for less than impressive splits but a modest progression as well. 400m jog recovery. Splits:

5:44.4 (1:57)
5:50.3 (1:55)
5:38.4 (1:58)
5:48.8 (1:59)
5:38.4 (1:55)
5:45.0

I could feel the accumulated fatigue piling up the last two reps, about reached my limit after the last one.
