Recovery - legs are feeling normal again
24/10/06
After Monday night's gentle 6km, the legs felt marginally better for this morning's 1km reps. As for the first speed session after a big one, the aim was to just stretch out as best I could. So after the warmup and drills I knew the reps weren't going to be pretty. When I heard Sean call 4:04 at the end of the first rep I was pleasantly surprised. So after a gentle jog back to the start of the next rep, off we went again. This one was a 4:02. Slowed slightly again for a 4:05 and then finished off with a 4:00 flat. So at the end, I was pleasantly surprised with a 4:03 average.
Belinda had 3x600m on her program and ran them in 3:00, 2:48 and 2:52.

Wednesday morning was another easy 6km. Happy to trundle around my 6km loop at a nice gentle pace.
Belinda met up the SWEAT girls and ran around Centennial Park for an hour.

Wild Wally was on the menu this morning. I had 7 reps and Belinda had 3. I was feeling nervous about this session. I hadn't heard anything from the ITB since Sunday but wasn't sure how running up and down hills was going to make it feel. So to finish the 7 reps with not a peep from the troublesome one left me feeling ecstatic. Started off at a comfortable pace on the first one and ran each one quicker as the confidence grew. Splits were 2:55, 2:52, 2:51, 2:49, 2:48, 2:48 and 2:42.
Belinda was happy to do her reps at a solid pace.

As we both had an easy half hour on the program, we ran our 6km loop at a very relaxed pace for a nice way to finish the week off.
