Ran a bit of speed today....
Not too much though.
2km warmup.
1km @ 4min pace (probably quicker)
90 secs standing recovery
750m @ 4min pace (probably quicker)
few mins rest so as not to tax body let others go ahead.
800m @3:50 pace
90 secs standing recovery
1km @3:48 pace
2km cooldown
About 35mins total running.
Let the others do 5km of intervals in total and i did about 3.5km.
Wasn't really timing myself much moreover just running and chatting with another guy!
Didn't feel very taxed though i am still wary of pushing too hard.
All in all a good session and i am mildly surprised with the times achieved as i was expecting to be a lot flatter.
Having second thoughts about Hellgate Gorge as i will probably need to spend 2 full days away from the family when travel is considered.DTI may not stand up to it regardless of finessing (Or carpet shampooing 2P!)
Oh i forgot 8km club race was changed to a 3miler due to heat,i started a bit underhydrated and basically just walked a few times in the race.Didn't get overtaken by Tony Fattorini until about 600m into the race but he put about 3 1/2 mins into me by the finish!!He was down to be awarded his trophy for winning Kembla Joggers Mountain Running Series as always a great sportsman and modest guy!Not worried by race time but don't want the hands on hips or walking to return!Next race is a tough 4 miler.
Thinking a half (is 90mins on the cards???) and a 40 min 10km are top of the goals list.

About Me
- R2B
- People can't understand why a man runs. They don't see any sport in it. Argue it lacks the sight and thrill of body contact. Yet, the conflict is there, more raw and challenging than any man versus man competition. For in running it is man against himself, the cruelest of opponents. The other runners are not the real enemies. His adversary lies within him, in his ability, with brain and heart to master himself and his emotions.

Sounds like a good healthy speed session there. Well done.
You could drop her off in Sydney on the way through for a couple of days' shopping :)
You can do both those R2B, although sub-90 is a bit easier than sub-40.
I agree with Ewen.
You should try to get the sub 90min half to start with and then go for the 10km PB.
With all that training for the 6 foot and those kind of speedwork sessions you should be able to crack 90mins in the not too distant future.
I see now that you were at 6ft too, well no, I wasn't there for sure, but still feel excited to know many bloggers were there... maybe someday??

Hope the training is going well R2B.
Might see you soon as I am thinking of heading down for a KJ's run as I'm ready to start cracking some PB's!!!
