SPR™ Feb 2010 7:05pm, 23 Feb 2010 9,305 posts	0 SPR™ Women's 800m at Birmingham where Meadows set the british record, fast first 200 (28 secs), then 3 x 30 sec laps (30.2 30.7, 30.2). Men's 800m went through 400m in 51 and ended with 1:47, although the winner actually was quite a way behind on the first two laps and probably ran a slightly faster second 400m

Blister Feb 2010 11:44pm, 23 Feb 2010 6,106 posts	0 Blister Wow thanks guys this is turning into a great little thread... even though no one else has joined the group haha. I can't wait to hear of other peoples training, I will post how I'm doing on here too. But, for the next 4 weeks my main focus is finishing my final year uni project (25th March deadline) and then I will have finished my 5 year BSc Hons Computing degree (part time)! So hopefully I can really focus (much more than previous years) on my training. I find it interesting looking at the splits, but isn't it like with training how everyone is different and different methods work better for different people? I personally seem to run stronger and often faster with even pacing.

Hope for a time between 9.30 and 10mins but will see what happens on the night. 10min easy WU then straight into 3x500m at 18.0 km/h with 300m recovery at 12.7 and 1km CD on the tredmill.
AlanR Feb 2010 9:43am, 24 Feb 2010 2,333 posts	0 AlanR re the pacing I like to go out slightly faster the first 400m but not too much faster. Just because I know most of the time I will slow slightly on the 2nd lap and will have a little time in the bank.

Gobi Feb 2010 9:25pm, 24 Feb 2010 34,146 posts	0 Gobi Evening all - a training session to report was supposed to be 3 x 300 off 90 and 3mins actually 1 x 3 1 x 4 1 x 2 55.1 133 156 52.8 127 164 51.3 139 167 50.8 152 168 50.2 146 170 49.9 158 171 49.2 159 172 49.3 152 170 49.9 157 171 I am a notorious slow starter but once moving these reps were faster than my 800 pace The faster lads were running 43 - 48 The general comment was that the recoveries were tough
Blister Feb 2010 9:48pm, 24 Feb 2010 6,107 posts	0 Blister Nice one P.E. I've had a quick look but will have a better read through some point. I don't think it would even be possible to know everything we needed to know! Good session Gobi, interesting how you are starting all this in Feb - are you basing their training more on Anaerobic stuff? I'm not quite sure I understand those numbers though, are they your splits for each 300m with HR zones after?
SPR™ Feb 2010 9:52pm, 24 Feb 2010 9,328 posts	0 SPR™ Took me awhile to realise that was 3 sets of 3 x 300, lol. HRs Avr and Max? What is your max?
