Wasn't sure what session to do today. Had an interview for Billy at High School this morning so contemplated running a track session down in the Shire with Eloise Wellings. Then was told I need to pick up Charlie from cubs this evening and my argument that we could give him a badge for navigating his way home solo was not appreciated. So got down to the HuRT Squad lunch session with a cast of thousands including all the regulars bar Enda.
Been feeling knackered recently. Consistent big training over a decent period of time and not helped by a bad night's sleep last night after being bitten (in bed) on the toe by an ant. So the first 6 reps were shocking with CT, Jono and Barts all finishing ahead with me, Tucks, Macca and Andy in the next group. Gradually felt my way into the session and finished the last 4 quite well (especially the last) getting down to 3:15 pace (3:05 for the final one). Was then rooted for the warmdown. But all said, it was another hot and humid day so it's no wonder we're all pretty lethargic. Hopefully it will be a massive boost going into the cold conditions in New York.
17km including warm-up and warm-down.
Timmy finished off well today after I shouted at him on reps 12 and 14. Barts and Macca both looked nervous about Saturday night's 10,000m. Macca will be aiming for Sub34 and Barts Sub32 although in secret I think he wants a bit more. He keeps on talking about CT's PBs. If anything will snap CT out of his trail-walking fascination, Barts doing the previously unthinkable will be it.
