..miss jo absolutely CRACKS it

..yep ...i was as close to having a tanty at the track as i have EVER been-there were tears very very close to the surface
..basically i believe that the set stu set me was too hard-on my fourth rep he wanted me to run 600m at my race pace which if it is so hard to do during a race, im hardly going to be able to do it in training-anyway-he was not folding at all on this one
..so the proposed set(remember my 800m race pace is 40s per 200) and the actual
-there was a horrible horrible wind(when isnt there-but it was NOT nice and NOT conducive to good training

propsed 600m at 43 per 200 (2:09min) actual 2:13 42/45(wind)/46 shit really
proposed 400m at 40 per 200 actual 81s
proposed 400m at 40 per 200 actual 81 but started wheezing at the 300-fell onto ground at the end and still wheezing for a long time-just COULDNT GET ANY AIR) stu as always not very compassionate-the noise i was making trying to breathe was horrible
proposed 600 at 40s per 200-i told stu NO way could i manage this...i was NOT happy
2:10 for the 600-10s behind what it should have been(wasnt talking to stu anymore)
proposed 2,3 x 200s at 45s with 200 float recovery
actual 38,40,41 with the diagonal as a shuffle float
felt like complete rubbish during and after-
so all up 6.3 of the toughest kms

anyway the less said the better

Nice to see Stu is finally HingTFU. He'll be happy when you're crying whilst running the session (like I've seen some girls do).

What doesn't kill you makes you race faster :)

suck it up Jo. these sessions will make you much faster. trust in your coach and ignore the little voices in your head that say this is too hard. sure your legs are feeling like lead, but this is how we all improve. I have a little session of my own tomorrow arvo to look forward to - jegster
