Track at Chevalier College ~~~~

I thought this was going to be a fairly easy session, but that was before I got started.  It was a little more than moderately tough! Lovely day :  warm and sunny with a nice breeze.

From F.I.R.S.T. track session I had to do :

10-20 min warm-up
200m (200 RI);  400m (400 RI);  600m (400 RI);  800m (400 RI);  800m (400 RI);  600m (400 RI);  400m (400 RI);  200m
10 min cool-down

For warm-up : 1 set Magill Drills with strides

For above distances (based on 40 min 5km) :
 1:14 (70/76%);  2:38 (70/77%);  4:17 (glitch ahr);  6:20 (92%);  5:36 (70/78%);  4:19 (72/91%);  3:04 (72/85%);  1:13 (75/86%)

Cool-down + stretches

On Track for 800m

Times were OK; pretty much what F.I.R.S.T. had set; a couple were a bit faster!

Chatting with the grounds keeper before I began, found out he was a triathlete and half marathon runner before moving to the Southern Highlands and putting on 20kg!!   Only about my height (167cms), 62 years of age and way overweight!  He's starting a program at a gym to lose weight and get back into training.  Says he'll run with me when he's fit!  Told him to aim for a 5km time and then we'll race!!  Will be interested to follow his come-back as I see him every Tuesday.
