Run > Track Session

The original plan was to do 5 x 1km at roughly 3000m race pace, which I was hoping would be 3.20 per km. But arriving feeling tired, achy, and stiff, I decided to play it by ear and aim for at least 3 reps. My warm-up took a long time because I was chatting to a few people and then rushed 2 strides before starting. The first rep felt hard and a lot faster than I was running - even the first 200m was too slow, but the good thing is I kept even splits. On the second I managed to speed up slightly; on the third, I managed to get down to that 3.20 pace and then some in the last 300m. I decided not to attempt a fourth, mainly because of my legs' soreness. Lousie was there, and this was my last session/run before turning 39! My achilles felt really sore while cooling down.
