...seriously stu

..ummm you do realise i raced 15kms on sat
..yes
..cn i do 20x200m with 200 float(a light set)
..NO-do the longer reps

...bugger

oky so supposedly it is 600,800.1km.1km,800,600. i knew i would struggle with this. i strugled with a 35 min easy run yesterday. MY SHINS are sooooooooooooooo sore..that'd be the 15km road race when you have NOT(and i repeat)NOT have done enough kms in training to no be this sore afterwards... yes it was a good run..yada yada yada and im paying for it NOW!~

anyway plan was to go a tad slower(dont forget standing recovs) than we have been and sit on approx 96s laps (approx 4min/km)

first rep it was like-sheesh jo-seriously?????
di the 600 in 2.27(very restrained and just over 4min pace...like 4.03)
then 800 in 3,14 bit off pace
then 800 in 3.16 bit off pace-couldnt do the 1km-just started to drop off and legs were like death and i knew 800 would be more beneficial
the 800 in 3.15-right on pace-same as above for why i didnt do 1km
then 800 in 3.14- close enough
then 600-stu worked a bit so i did too, hit 2.14 (2.24 IS 96 LAPS)

yeah um it was a good session CONSIDERING- i hate the term considering, it was a shit session if it was normal, but a good session with tired and sore legs

am i happy? yep, last year i struggled to do 96s per lap reps, now i get close to them on my BAD days! and im only just 6 weeks back running
it could be a good track season(which it is all about!!) next season :)

You're not mentioning the achilles, so I'm assuming it is behaving itself?

Now, don't you go overcooking things before the Smackdown in the Sun. I don't want any excuses ;)
