More like a Racecourse!

The Race Track!

Today's Track Program :
10-20 min warm-up
3 x (2x1200m) 7:04 (5:53m/k); 2:00 RI
(4:00 RI between sets)
10 min cool-down.

I didn't really need a cool-down time at all.  I was frozen from start to almost finish!  The only part of me visible was my face; I wore long tights, two tops, a beanie and gloves and only removed one top after the warm-up. It was a bright and sunny day but the bitterly cold wind made it feel like Siberia....not that I've ever been to Siberia to make a fair comparison!  

However.......I did what I set out to do  :

2km warm-up to find suitable blocks of streets in Renwick  + 4 strides

3 x (2x1200m)  :  7:07 (5:55m/k);  7:00 (5:50m/k)
                                    :  6:59 (5:49m/k);  6:49 (5:40m/k)
                                    :  6:54 (5:45m/k);  7:00 (5:50m/k)

HR monitor not working - clip broke off while cleaning it! -  but I'd guess MHR would have been 9?%  


1km fast walk back to the car, home and like a shot into a hot shower!


Total 10.2km


.....and I think I did real good 1200m repeats!
