Circle work #2

Day 19

Back to beautiful Sydney last night and up this morning for my "hard" day. Decided to head down to Rotary Park for some fast running on grass, with Saturday looming in the background, to minimise impact on the legs. Just to make life more interesting a light drizzle of rain accompanied the run today!

So this dose of circles was 400m reps with 90 sec standing recovery, again in an effort to work the cardio a little more while also getting the legs used to going a "bit" faster :)

8 reps seemed enough as the form on the last couple was becoming particularly ragged...
1:26
1:25
1:25
1:24
1:27
1:27
1:28
1:29

That gives an average of just over 1:26, which for interest sake translates to 3:36 min/km pace.

Then a quick visit to the witch doctor for some preventative needling on the lh calf and achilles. Tomorrow is recovery and my 1 day taper for Willy to Billy :)

Good luck on W2B Dave.

What is it with the Sydney siders?

Everyone down there seems to be spot on in consistency with their reps - be that on a bike or run.

Damn might have to come down and do some training with you all.

You up in Brisbane any time soon???
