This evening's track session was different to recent weeks. We were doing mainly short reps at a faster pace than normal. The session was 4X300m, 4X600m, 1X1000m, 4X600m, 4X300m with jog recoveries of 100m after the 300m & 200m after the 600m & 1000m reps. In total it was 8.2k of efforts, which is about average for Wednesday track sessions.
I was running with Mark I & Simon A for most of the session, which helped motivation when tiring. For the 300m reps, we realised midway through the first set that we were running to the wrong line on the track (there are lots of lines close to 300m), doing an extra 10m or so. We decided to continue running to this line for the whole session for the 300m for the benefit of consistency.
Throughout the session we were very consistent on all the reps, running the 310m in 58/59 seconds, the 600m in 2:06 & the 1000m in 3:33. The average lap pace on the 600m & 1000m was 84/85 seconds, which is 2 seconds or so faster than I normally run on the track & equivalent to about 17:30 for 5k. Considering that we were doing the 300m reps quite a bit faster and did 8.2k efforts in total, I was quite pleased with that.
Including the warm up & warm down, I ran 16.3k in total, which is quite a long session.
