400s

After a big night out on Sat, I decided to take Sunday off. It was my first day off in a long time and with Sunday's 10k run fast approaching, I am planning on reducing my volume significantly this week to give it a good crack. The forecast is not looking great with highs of 32c forecast and it's always a little bit warmer out in homebush.
On Monday I ran into work and went for a 10k run with Brad at lunch.

Tues:
am - PT session with Big Bear and Grant. Again lots of focus on core & gluts. I typically have this session on Thursdays but given I tend to be sore for a few days after it I decided to bring it forward a few days.

lunch (400s by 8 rolling off 2 mins). I decided to push this session from the start. I took off quick for each rep until Tucks pulled me back in the last 200m. On the majority of reps, he was second ahead of me. I was ahead of the rest of the HuRTs (Rich H, Timmy, TB etc) for all the reps until the final one where Rich H, his mate from ANZ and TB reined me in. The times went as follows

rep 1: 66
rep 2: 67
rep 3 68
rep 4 68
rep 5 69
rep 6 68
rep 7 69
rep 8 69

I pulled the plug on rep 8 as I felt i was going backwards and working far too hard, don't I think I could of ran sub 70 for 9 or 10. Still and all, i was happy with the session.

That's great running Kanser. BTW, I think the 10km is at Lane Cove. I don't want you turning up at the wrong place...

Looking good for a great race on weekend. Are you running Sunday run for fun or Striders at lane cove. RP

I will race on Sunday so i am out in Homebush. It's going to be a hot one...most of my long runs have been in the middle of the day so hopefully it won't bother me too much.
