Oh yes, that felt good. Finally a cool day to see if there was any life in my ol' legs...and the answer was YES! Still a long way from my best, but I made it rhough the workout, and felt strong all the way through. I didn't have the extra gear on the final 400...but still managed a mini hammer drop.
OK the workout was warm up, 2,000 @ MGP, 3 x 1,000 @ HMGP, and 4 x 400 @ 5K pace. As usual the pacing gets totally thrown out the window. However. we decided not to too foolish. The 2,000 was done at about 1:43/1:44 per lap....or about 6:55 mile pace...maybe one day I'll run a marathon at the speed. 1,000s were done at about 1:37 per lap. 400s were about 1:31/1:32...the last one was at 1:21. Mike flew past me at about 150 metres. I held on until 200 meters. He made a move...I tried o counter....but it wasn't quiet there. Still I finished strong. I needed a confidence booster ahead of the 10 miler...
