Saturday morning I decided I needed some more speed work so headed off to the track. Great conditions, strong winds, cold and trying to snow. Arrived not sure what session I'd do (thoughts of 54321 and hurdling (but not together)). Tony's group were doing 10x200 with 200 jog recovery. So I decided to do the 200s with hurdles (the last 4). Fortunately the gale was behind us.
Ideal session as I used the pack to pace me round and it gave me that little spur on. I just did alternate runs, so 5 set with about 3 or 4 mins recovery.
31/29/29/32/32
Slow start, excellent next 2 then degraded dramatically over the last two. With the strong tail wind I found I was being pushed onto the hurdles for the first 3 which meant I could keep left leg lead all the way (17s?) but as I tired I should have switched to alternate legs but didn't. Too long out of hurdling and lack of confidence to try it. This meant I was slowing up on each hurdle and that cost me a second or so each rep.
