PM: Jogged to ES Marks. Session was 4 laps, 3 laps then 2 laps. Matt was doing 15 laps aiming for steady 70's. We had to pace him around, taking a 2 lap break between each of our reps.
I'm struggling a bit at the moment. Before getting sick last week I was just tired but put it down to the step up to 120km weeks. Now I feel like I'm recovering from the cold. Legs felt sluggish and I've got no bounce or enthusiasm to push each rep.
Lost touch with Matty, Keith and Jared after 1km and held on to 4:51 for the 4 lapper. Bit better on the 3 lapper with Matt and Keith pulling ahead on the final lap. 3:36 I think. 2 lapper and held on for 500m before Alex cruised past with me finishing 2s back from the group (2:22).
Matt continues his fantastic form to run 17:39 for his 6km. That's a 14:44 5km along the way.
Then a bit of a break before starting the 10 x 300m reps off a rolling 2mins. I finished each rep about 10m behind the rest of the group with Jared smashing out each rep in 45s with the last in 42s. He's getting stronger by the week. A girl from Runcrew (Abi Regan) was also putting me to shame running her reps in 47/48. I was at least consistent with each rep at 50/51s. Consistently mediocre.
Sat down after and my calf started cramping. Then did a stretch and the top of my quad started cramping. Then later did a hip flexor stretch and my abs started cramping! So I think I need to pump in some magnesium.
Warm down for 14km all up.
