But instead we just bashed them out. First 2 were a struggle - as ever at 6.15am. We were slowed by the longish wet grass too which made your trainers sodden within seconds. For that reason I ditched the shoes after 3 reps and ran barefoot in the second half and, as usual, the rep times showed it.
3:16, 3:14, 3:12, 3:09, 3:07, 3:02
Macca would set off early from rep 4 to give me something to chase. He was averaging about 3:30. He's the only person I know who runs 1km reps at his 10km race pace.
5km warmdown for 12.5km all up.

Only 6 Tommy H? Thought it were down for 8 on the HuRTS program?
Thursday is for speed (although you wouldn't believe it off my first couple of reps). Read Pete Magill's article. 8 off a rolling 4 mins makes it no different to a Tuesday session. Too many of the squad are afraid to put themselves into lactic.
Ok , agree - that's why i just did the 6 as well :)
Wasn't going to risk it this morning Tom. I reckon 4 speed sessions in 9 days might be asking too much of the hammies..... Obvious stuff really.
