PM: Jogged to ES Marks from work then borrowed Gary's flats (more comfy than mine, might start investing in New Balances) before being told the session - 2km hard followed by 10x400m. Told Jared and I were to lead the 2km in 70's, with Matt and Keith doing 4km. Decided to lead the first lap as I honestly couldn't see myself holding that pace for more than 1. We went through in 70, 2:22, 3:33, 4:45 then finished in 5:56. Km split in 2:57.
Was pretty rooted after that but got a fair break before the 400's started. I just watched on as the rest of the squad are considerably better at running 400 reps than me. Jared floats around making 63's look like a jog while Alex R opens up making 66's a stroll. I was happy to keep them all at 68s, with reps 7 and 8 at 69s when I was really struggling.
Absolutely knackered at the end rolling around on the track for a good 5mins. Haven't felt that tired from a session in years. 2km warm down around the track then a 2km jog from Jared's to Manly Wharf for 15km all up and 21km for the day.
Have to point out how well Matt Hudson is running. An 11:50 4km followed by 10 400's in 63 with the last in 60 flat. He was flying.
