New Year Track

First track of the new year. Heavy conditions with long grass and low cloud that turned into heavy rain from about 7pm onwards.

Turnout of about 30 with Andew but still no Tim...

Usual warm up followed by some stride throughs and then the main set which consisted of 5 x 1km intervals (each of 3 laps) at the following pace:

• 1st km starting at 5km race pace and slowing down with the last lap at half marathon pace
• 2nd km at half marathon pace
• 3rd and 4th km building throughout
• 5th km building for first 2 x laps and then 100% for last lap

Used my garmin for the first time at track with the 1km splits going 3.58/4.07/3.52/3.55/4.07. I struggled for the last one in the rain and the heavy grass.

Finished off with half a lap at 90%, half a lap recovery x 2 with a long warm down around the fartlek loop.

All up a good session to start the new year. Amusing GPS read out of the session:
