More 400's

The Tuesday/Thursday training combination is working much better for me at the moment. So having raced on Tuesday, it was back to the track for a repeat of last week's session (15 x 400 off 1 minute).

It was still quite windy, but not quite as bad as the previous week, plus the wind was in the same direction. So again it was an easy half lap, followed by having to work round the final bend and the home straight. I deliberately tried to run them a bit harder this week and by the end I was cream crackered. Times were as follows:

71/70/69/68/67/68/68/67/67/67/67/67/67/67/66

So after a quick bit of analysis I think that's 12 seconds quicker than last week (average of 67.8). A total of 16:56 quick running for 6km. How some guys can keep that pace up continually just baffles me...

Just a note, I always round my times to the nearest second usually conventional rounding. So I would count a 65.50 as a 66 (which coincidentally I did for the last rep!). A 65.49 would be logged as a 65. Simple.

With the 3.2km warm-up/down, it was 12.4km for the day.
