Who was there: Matthew Neil Colin Me GeoffB Tony Joel Ken,
and Yelena. Where were the other girls?
What we did: a partly anaerobic session. Particularly aimed to help 800m runners.
(a) 100 on 100 off x 8 (4 laps)
(b) 50 on 100 off x 8 (3 laps)
(c) 100 on 50 off x 8 (3 laps)
with a short break after each set allowing everyone to catch their breath.
It was a beautiful night. The temperature was close to zero degrees with a lovely cool breeze. Matthew forgot his beanie and gloves. He won't forget again. No one shed items of clothing; all jackets etc stayed on through the three sets of sprints.
The session achieved its objective: I think this is the first time I have set an anaerobic agenda and had everyone in serious pain at the end! So last night's pattern will be noted and used again.
Next week: is the third round of 2km time trials.
Times achieved in the first two rounds:
Colin 7:09, 7.06
Rod 7:28, 7.22
John Lamb n/a, 7.44
Ken 7.46, 7.50
Matthew 8.16, 8.11
Maria 8.32, n/a
Roger 8.47, 8.32
Amanda n/a, 8.48
Geoff S 8.49, n/a
Neil 8.52, n/a
Kathy 9.25, n/a
Tony n/a, 9.09
Adam 9.38, 9.09
Caroline 9.50, n/a
Ruth 10.30, 10.45
Margaret 10.45, n/a
Conditions have not been ideal for the first two rounds, so I am predicting a waterlogged track next week and even faster times.
Shoe collection: only just bigger than mine and Friar's put together!
