..hmmmmmm
so maybe i shouldnt even be running winter season
.stu set me a session of 10min jog and then at 4:30 pace which is faster than my 10km(45:36) pace-which is also my 5km pace(havent even actually run that fast for 5kms before my 5km race pb is 23:12(yes soft) , and not much faster than my 3km race pace(13:15 is my fastest)
...anyway he then said.... 'well if you cant manage 4:30 pace then you are going to have a horrible winter season(my 6km pb is about 27mins-i get to that pace and just stay there. Anyway i dont think as a coach he should be making me feel like a crap runner, which is exactly what he made me feel like. i mean seriously(lucky my bf is nice cos my coach is not on my christmas card list...lol)
..anyway i decided to change the plan somewhat- and run 10min jog, then 3kms at 4:30pace and then beg Ewen to let me use that as my 3km race time. i reset it to zero, i used my garmin which is very accurate had to do two 180degree turns which slows you and ran the last 8mins into a fierce headwind. managed to be nearly on time for the first 2kms but then couldnt maintain into the wind : averaging in the end 4:38 and running 13:55(may i use that time please Ewen...please please please)
anyway two weeks til the champs and then we can tally up Ewen
so glad its the weekend -am completely stuffed after one helluva week. bought a coat for myself today which is pretty nice

As you asked nicely... of course!
IF you let me use first laps of the one hour race Thursday week as EITHER my 800m or 1500m time? I think I'm going to be too sore to race the 800m this Thursday.
ALSO I haven't run my 400m time trial yet. Man is that going to hurt!
sure Ewen, the first two laps is fine for your 800(youve already done 1500's) :)
Thanks. I'll try and hang with the 3:30/k runners for two laps.
A 3000m on the track would be a lot faster, of course Ewen is going to agree..
Yes, you'd run a minute or more faster in a race on the track - I'd guess 12:45, but I'm not going to give you that!
