Yes, well, we needed a little distraction from the destruction we were all about to feel from the workout on Saturday morning. "Livin' in the fast lane", I can hear some of you say. Pun intended.
The workout went well. It was a key indicator of 1500m fitness for me and I was pleased at the result for this time of year.
400m- 65 sec
1 minute break
800m- 2:15 (neg. split 68.7, 66.6)

800m- 2:15 (neg. split 68.7, 66.6)

10 minutes break
300m- 47 sec

500m- 1:21

200m- 29 sec
Needless to say, we were all happy when the beating was over.
Then, today we had a 20 km long run with a 4 mile (6.4 km) progression after the first 30 minutes. My body was feeling pretty rough beforehand though, as a result of Saturday's workout plus the rest of the week but, once I got moving, I felt ok. I had a bit of a breakthrough on this one as well. I started out at around 4 minute/km pace and finished the last 2km in 3:30-3:35 /km pace.
A great week overall. Total volume: approx. 120km.
Looking forward to my day off tomorrow. ;)
Much for fun training with a group! May I ask who your training partners are? Is the U.S.A. girl Shannon Rowbury?
