a few days WHIPPED by
..last couple of days have been a blur....
work is busy(what's new-and EVERYONE is busy, all of you guys are-everyone thinks they are busy-so maybe IM not and its a preconception that we all have.... lol )
anyway-wednesday feeling pretty average and SKIPPED my run(how slack miss jo) and had a 1 hour sleep as soon as i got home :( slack slack slack
thursday-still on hte codral cold and flu-breathing not great but not terrible either-took the ventolin and the 400,200float,400,200float,400 x3 got changed to 6x200with 200 float x2
IT WAS SO WET,raining on us and just hideous weather.fot to track late, semi warmed up on the concrete that was protected from the howling weather. fortunately the rain and wind started to die down, but big puddles on the trck and running in brooks adrenalines are not light shoes. anyway first 6 x200s were 44-45s. felt fast but probs more bc i hadnt warmed up properly. hd planned to do 20 but got a bit carried away the next set
all 41s with 20 floats and was WRECKED at the end of the 2nd set. so 12 reps was it and left it at that-shoulda kept them all at 44 and woulda made 15-16
anyway didnt want to run today but forced myself to do a 45min water run
oh and my set tomorrow is 3k warm up cool down and 7km run at half mara pace. ive told stu i can't do this set-i dont know why-but i seem unable to, my half is really not that far off my 10km race pace and i seem to be able to hold it for a long time, but i CANNOT do it in training, i am working really hard at that pace-like ummmmm racing. But something comes over me (and others) in a race, and taking 10s off per km from your 'tempo' run doesnt seem too big a deal.
anyway according to him, if i cant do that set, then i cant run the half in under 100mins. i haven't lost ALL hope just yet-i did manage to race that pace for 15kms, and i race SUPER SUBSTANTIALLY better than i train over the longer stuff. i am a track runner and CANT manage the training long tempo run but i suggest i can suck it up for ONE day. anyway we will see how i go at the half-but i think stu is being too negative over this ONE training session that i have never in my whole life been able to do-i couldn;t do it the one year when i ran 1.43 either! i may be fooling myself however

The SO WET session sounds like a terrible one - you have my admiration for getting it done. Lucky the Melb weather wasn't like that all day last Sunday!
I tend to agree with you on the 7k tempo one. You're one of these runners who can raise a supreme effort for a race. Esp as you're a middle distance runner and long tempos aren't your favourite. Tell Stu he's being mean again ;)
Christ the weather is dire at the moment, I was almost glad I couldn't make training on Thurs, I got a tempo run done in the afternoon before the weather went to poo.
Don't think too much about the HM, just get out there and see what happens on the day.
