4x1k of 5 mins recovery
3:07, 3:06, 3:07, 3:09
really good session, very happy with this. was really pushing it along. after seeing some of the 400 sessions of 3 mins that the arvo squad has been doing, i didnt think i could pull that sort of speed out for reps, even with longer recovery. but i managed some really good times today. i saw in the book that i was close to sparkie, about 5 seconds off each rep; although he did it by himself off 4 mins. and apparently i beat keith, although he probably did it by himself.
had good battles with claire and selma, and managed to beat them which i was happy about considering claire had just run 2.11 on the weekend for 800. was just behind OJ as well.
had a 600ml bottle of coke at 3pm, then a 250ml can of red bull at 4:15, for training at 5:45 (all diet of course ;-P ) for the caffine. worked well, but my legs were a bit shaky, even though i was running fast. first rep was good. then after that it took a while to hit my stride and run powerfully, it felt like i was barely holding it together for the first 400m. then in the 3rd rep it was onlt after 700m that i started feeling strong. although i was still going fast. so maybe too much caffine; maybe a product of the hard lactic training; maybe the caffine makes me go fast, but doesnt make me feel that good; or maybe its not that great for stop/start interval sessions - after all, the first rep was solid all the way. but i felt twitchy like always after caffine, even in the warmup.
