Again, another easy looking session on paper (or on Training Peaks, to be more specific). Once again, nothing could be further from the truth. The low volume coupled with the long rest periods ensures the pace is bloody hard! Met with Darren and Richard at Manly LSC where we agreed to run the session in the bike line parallel to the main walkway. First and third reps we headed north towards Queenscliff, the second south towards Manly. Overall, was very happy with the session - even more so after the cool-down when I first saw the splits. 2:57, 66, 2:57, 70, 3:03, 68. Stoked to average under 3 minute pace for the 1000's - it's always hard to do on the beachfront (much more so than on the oval). In particular, the third (and slowest rep) was a surprise - I honestly felt like my legs were lead and ran like my grandma for that one, so to see a 3:03 is quite encouraging. Couldn't have gone any harder at all - absolutely spent by the end! A nice and easy 5km cool-down for around 15km all up. Another beautiful sunrise (not that I paid too much attention as I was in a world of hurt); hopefully today it will stay out.
Snuck out before lunch for some laps around Randwick. Nice and easy 40 minutes, holding 4:34's for 8.76km.
