After a longish warm-up of 6.5km, it was time for my first track session in 3 weeks. Conditions were as good as could be expected - very little breeze and mild for this time of year (6 degrees). Not even raining!
The session was to be 15 x 400m with 30 seconds recovery. I eased into it and felt pretty good throughout. I was at the front and lapped the next quickest group so I ended up running a bonus 16th lap effort which I didn't time but would estimate around 71 secs. Here are the splits for the first 15 laps:
73/75/72/72/73/72/73/72/72/72/72/70/72/73/72
So I averaged around 72 which was the intention as these were supposed to be run at target 5km pace. But there is no way I could have kept that pace up for long at the moment...
All in all a good session. I ended up with a couple of kms warm-down so a total of 14.9km for the session.
I best get to bed early so I can get up in the morning to watch the last few hours of the cricket.
