So Al and I are back to the start of our repeating 4 week cycle of track sessions. This afternoon we completed session 1, week 5 - 10 x 200m sprints with 200m jog recovery. 4km, 22 mins or so.
Here is what happened a month ago:
Alistair and I completed session 1 on Wednesday. It was a good session. The first 200m run was completed in 37sec, sprints 2 through 10 were completed in 39, 40 or 41 seconds. The first 5 full laps (sprint and recovery) were completed in about 1 min 50sec, the last 5 were completed on 2 mins.
Today we upped the intensity of the 'on' 200m sets. The first 200 was run in 30 seconds, the other 9 ranged from 31 to 34 seconds. Most were low 33 or high 32s. The recovery was a little longer than last time in that we started the next sprint 1min 40 after we finished the previous one. This session felt very hard, however we were really happy to be consistent with the times of both the 'on' 200s and the recovery 200s over the duration of the 10 laps. A good session to have under the belt.
Al and I actually faced each other in a BPL final tonight as well. The semi started about 12 hours after the end of the track session - it was a good bit of worlds type training.
It is great to be able to easily compare times and efforts from last month. I'm looking forward to seeing how the rest of this months sessions stack up, and how much stronger i'll be by the time we complete round 4 of this in July. I fully encourage everyone to get some details posted up on the Blog so you can compare your progress.
Train on boys, train on.
Mike
