SPR 25 Apr 1:04pm, 25 Apr 2025 47,621 posts	Quote Pin SPR Sprint session yesterday so long recoveries 3x100, 150, 200, 2 x 150, 2 x 300 First 100s were in SF2 then switched into the Victory 2. The rigidity definitely seemed to help at the end of the 300s 15.2 14.2 13.9 22.7 29.1 21.5 21.3 46.7 45.9 Sub 60 for 400 on Sunday will be tough and I'm not sure I'm in a race where I will get much help (4 person race and not sure the other two are sub 60, I'm on the outside and my faster club mate who is inside me is doing an 800 beforehand). Hopefully race adrenaline will help and my teammate gets out well so I can chase (he definitely has more speed and better acceleration than me, I'm just faster from 15 up) Need to remember to attack the first 100 (get the cadence up quickly) as it should be pretty hard for me to go too fast. I did that better at the start of the second 300 but legs were feeling it more on the home straight after the first one.
LBAC Si 25 Apr 2:01pm, 25 Apr 2025 277 posts	Quote Pin LBAC Si Good luck tomorrow - I'm off to Battersea for another FNUL 5k - the non elite one, although the third wave will have some guys doing 14.30 odd. Hoping to take it down to 16.15-20 if poss.

SPR 27 Apr 3:04pm, 27 Apr 2025 47,641 posts	Quote Pin SPR Made the rookie error of stopping my watch (for no reason given it wouldn't have given a time). I suppose 60.1 would have been more annoying in those circumstances, at least with this I know it wasn't down to the watch stopping.
LBAC Si 28 Apr 2:23pm, 28 Apr 2025 279 posts	Quote Pin LBAC Si Still decent! 16.12 Friday night, well happy with that. Full small report on the Stevieg thread.
SPR 11:08am 11:08am, 29 Apr 2025 47,645 posts	Quote Pin SPR Yeah apart from the watch thing which I don't think cost me much (I've got a start and finish video and it is properly on the line without a noticeable slow down), I don't really think I did anything obviously wrong so the time is the time. I got out well but my teammate overtook by the 1500 start line, tried to hold him but he was a bit too fast. Maybe just running that first 200 pretty much like a 200 is the only thing I could do different, trusting that I haven't got the power to really go over the edge. I think if I was closer, it would have helped in the last 100 (he ran 58.3). I will have a full set of standard flat distances once it goes on PO10. Oh I did a three point start, which I found out later is apparently not legal (wasn't noticed by the starter but another runner was stopped from doing it in another race)! It's two hands or no hands on the ground apparently. Just read your 5k report @LBAC Si, looks like it went perfectly. Nice work.
