Saturday speed - 8 x 2 minutes (off 30 seconds) (am) + 8km recovery (pm)

Didn't plan out the way I wanted it to this morning. Quite disappointed, it just felt much harder than last time! It's quite a tough, yet very short session. The odds were run into a headwind, with the evens getting pushed along with a tailwind. I knew I was in for a tough session after finishing the first rep at 3:04 min/km pace. It felt much harder than that. It then went 3:02, 3:06, 3:05, 3:07, 3:07 - before blowing up massively for a 3:18 and 3:15 min/km pace effort. All up, averaged 3:08 - two seconds per kilometre slower than last time (or 640m per effort). Oh well, shit happens! Regained my breath, and finished off with a nice and long cool-down. 17km all up.

Out again after watching the start of the Sydney to Hobart at Little Manly (first time ever). 4:28's at 119 beats per minute.
