Tuesday speed

Another track session on Tuesday, nice and bright, but a bit of wind and a chill. Tony Noel my fellow 400m relayer turned up and we planned a speed/endurance session. 2 sets of (300, 250, 200m ) with 3 and 2 mins between runs, 10 mins between sets.

We set of fairly briskly on the 300m, Aiming for about 42/43 we clocked 41.9 which turned out to be too fast for me. Managed the 250 in 36 seconds, then the 200 in 30, not enough recovery to do any quality speed. I decided that discretion is the better part of valour. Or put simply one set was enough!
Tony battled on and completed the second set, but it looked like it really hurt.
The aim of the session was to maintain a very fast pace over a set of run, building up speed as well as endurance. In reality, I think my base speed is OK, my endurance is OK, but the two together aren't working yet. Still time to sort this, but I'll need to change my sessions to cope with this.
