omg stu are you kidding me

stu sent me an email today telling me what the set was..i just about fell off my chair
this is continuous BTW 800m@1500 pace and speed up to 400 at 800 pace -do you have ANY idea how hard that in itself is...its racing 1200m faster than your 1500 pace.. and we were expected to do that 4 times. with a 3min break between reps
i emailed stu telling him it was too hard. he told me it was tough but we would do what we could..i sent about 7 more emails..one which said it was the TOUGHEST set he had ever set, and that i nearly spewed when we do HOT 300s and this is harder so he had better bring the bucket..lol
and I WAS NOT BEING A DRAMA QUEEN- this is like racing 3 x 1500m races within 20 mins

anyway, he came to his senses and decide 600at 1500pace followed by 200 at 800 pace. Even this was EXTREMELY HARD for me that is 92s for 400 and then supposed to be 40s for last 200-couldnt quite maintain into the wind so the first 2 reps were (220s)
44,48,48,42
45,47,48,45
then reduced to 500 with 200 faster -i coudlnt manage another one
46,46,(not sure last 300)
then reduced to 1x400 at 1500 pace
93 seconds
seriously one of the tougher sets we have done

Damn! While reading that I was hoping he'd stick to the original set. Then I would have agreed with you - he WAS crazy, and you WEREN'T being a drama queen!

You did well. Anything longer than 400 at 1500 pace is good running. Speedy girl.
