1/10/09: 3M Speed
Skipped a run yesterday as had very long day on Tuesday (in Melbourne for work - early start, late finish) and was feeling pretty puggled for most of yesterday.
Had time to fit it in today though, and did speed session at gym, which I really enjoyed.
1.6km warm up
200m fast, walk recovery
300m fast, walk recovery

1.4km steady - actually kept up quite a good speed on this
Total time 29mins10s, including walking as part of warm up, so pretty pleased with that.

Bit pushed for time so run slightly shorter than would have liked, but still a good one. Bit faster than meant to go but walked home via shops so got good cool down

Up early(ish) today for run as had lunch plans with a friend.
Good to be out and about before 10am, decided to go up to Military Road via Ben Boyd Road. Could have run further but as this is hilly route, and as this was post-race recovery week, decided best not to push it too much. Also thought useful to do as a benchmark time.
Out in 21 mins, back in 18 - reflection of the hills!
Strong wind which was pretty refreshing - was warm when the wind wasn't blowing.
