quote of the week “Age and treachery will triumph over youth and ability”
I raced the 1500m on Saturday – I wanted to run the first lap in 80 to 85 seconds and kick on from there, but the first lap was only 90 seconds and the other laps were slower. That’s unusual for me when all indicators showed I should be able to run around 5:10. And I had jogged Thursday and Friday in preparation. So I decided to return to the gym on Sunday and do something different as a wake up call to the body. The gym session consisted of 40 minutes on the stepper, 12 chin-ups, sixty hip flexors and thirty lat pull-downs. I am not sore and plan to do that session two or three times a week from now on!
On a brighter note I broke my BBQ Stakes pb by one whole second on Wednesday – it was hotter than the previous week when I set the new pb, and it felt like I was running slower and easier.
What a difference three days makes.
