..maybe im getting faster?

stu set an horrendous set today(and there was NO way i could make it(and pretty much didnt!)
supposed set
200@43s 200 float and 200@43 walk 200 and 800@ 2.52(snort) 4-5min break and 600 in 1.58(snort) 4-5 min break 400 in 77s and 300 in 59s

yep even stu looked at the set and said not sure if we will hit those times. i sent him an email saying that when i run 2.36 i have gone through the 600 in 1.56 so it is RACE pace and i have already done 2x200 and a fast 800!

so here is what went down...legs felt heavy heavy heavy(had to run 3km with the boys at school -very very slowly)
anyway the legs werent really having a bar of me for a while, but they DID get over their little hissy

first 200 in 45s, then 42 high
800- 2.56 actually pretty happy with tat..hard work though1
600- stu said, after we all said no way could we go much faster) just be faster than 2.11(what we went through the 600 in the 800), 85 at the 400 and ive said to stu and Bay, work now and went past- i ran 2.07 and was kinda happy with that after the 800
400- started fast and ran 76.06
300 went fast again and ran 54.5

one of the toughest sets he has given us, but i actually felt pretty strong(working hard though)
kinda feel like im the most endurance(1500) fit ive ever been
milers(800) in a couple of weeks...and then a 1500 meet...im thinking there might be some quite reasonable times coming up
actually think i will adult pb in the 1500 and maybe run 2.36 in the 800??? hard to tell..depends when i start freshening up

anyway did i mention i booked tickets to perth and have decided to race at the australian masters championships...........way focussed at the mo, im sure thats helping me in training!!!!!!

No, you didn't mention that! I take it you're leaving Stu behind as he won't watch you race, and can't drive you around ;)

Yes, definitely getting faster. I'm soooo jealous ;) And since when did you spell-check any of your posts?!

WOW! well done, we had to do 6 by 300 last night and little miss I hate short stuff was secretly a bit cranky (don't tell Mr R), I was happy to average around 65 seconds, can't imagine low 50s!!!
