Jog On...

I missed running with the elite group they really give me a good work out and I always work that little bit harder than I do on my own. It was a simple set of 1km efforts - I managed to find myself in the top group and ended up doing 5 laps. The fast lot were only about 30 seconds in front of me so after having 2 weeks away from the group I hadn't slipped that far back. The dips so the recovery time between each 1km. After the 5 laps we ended the session with a 2 mile warm down, but only 2 of us went for it, all the others went for a shower. I ended up being pulled along by the lad at the front, he was my pacer and I was grateful he was there to push me as if he wasn't there I would have gone for that early shower. I missed this session with the group, hope I dont miss to many as I want to be in great condition for the next seasons races.

The set was called, 3km, 2km, 1km, 2km, 1km - 2 mins recovery in between each km effort , (98% max thresh hold) km efforts. On my this was a hard one, but I didn't mind, I'd missed this kind of session with the group. I switched the Garmin to KM auto lapping and the times above include the recovery, I should have push lap on the breaks but I forgot on the first recovery so didn't bother after it. This was a really enjoyable session, hard, but enjoyable. The session started really quick, and my pace was really fast under 4 minute KM efforts, but by the end of the session it dropped 5 minute per KM. I was still working at the same intensity throughout the session and still finished 3rd in th...
