Saturday session - 5 x 1200m (off 3 minutes) (am) + 8km recovery (pm)

Another brand new session this morning. On the face of it, it didn't appear that it would be too tough, especially given the generous interval of three minutes rest between successive bouts. But the compromise is that each 1200m effort is run at a faster pace than usual. Joined by Scotty this morning, and we agreed that sub 3:05's would be a great session - as the beachfront is notoriously slower than the world record conditions of Centennial Park. All in all, absolutely stoked with how the session panned out, averaging each effort at 3:01, 2:58, 2:59, 3:01 and 3:08 min/km pace. Consistent until number five - but not as bad a blow out as previously. 3:01's averaged for all five efforts. A nice 7.2km cool-down for a solid 17km all up. Time for a swim and some homemade muesli with every fruit under the sun!

Nice and easy 8km this afternoon, although quite stressful with the crowds. 4:33's at 121 beats per minute.
