Today I've decided this cold had had its fun and I was prepared to put up with its affects to get running again. I had my mind set on a km rep session, but I didn't want to put too much strain on it by doing the 6 whole efforts, which would be too much too soon. I decided therefore to do 3 reps on the track at school at a pace I could handle, without pushing things too much. The reps went as so:
1. 3:26 for the km. A good start, felt a little fast and cold feels as though it has taken a bit out of me. More in the tank but won't be as fast.
2. 3:33 for the km. Much more comfortable, restrained pace. Just wanted to finish with a reasonable effort.
3. 3:32 for the km. Not a bad finish, very comfortable once again. Without the cold I felt I could have gone faster and for longer.
So, an average of 3:30 - 35 minute 10k pace, on a grass track! Although roads aren't perfectly flat, the surface is faster so the times set bode well for that target. A good re-introduction after some tough times over the past few days. I needed a nice few miles in the tank, so 3 of the slowest I've ever done on the cross trainer helped me warm down. Please be completley gone tomorrow cold so I can do a full session?
