Last big session before Slovenia

After my 3 mile academy run I set off for Swindon for the last real training session before heading off to the European championships. I must admit to feeling pretty lousy before leaving so took another garlic juice to ward off any vampires.
Anyway - great session.
2x 5 hurdles followed by a 300m flat run
The hurdles went very well with a tail wind. Managed 17s to 3, then 16s to 5 fairly comfortably, infect I nearly overran the 5th. First run in 25.7 (quicker that I have run in all my races for the last couple of years). Second run I eased up between 2 and 3 (on the advice of my coach) to save energy and the run left a lot easier, but bizarrely came in quicker at 25.4
Also tried using block and with help from Dave Moles and Howard found a comfortable setting that seems to improve my start

Had a good 15 minute rest then went for the 300m flat run. I ran behind Howard in lane 3 He went off very quickly, nearly 10m ahead at the 100m mark, then i pulled back on the straight. I couldn't get passed on the bend, but we both clocked almost the same time 37.5 - which I think is the quickest I've done in a long time.
On Tuesday on grass my best was 42 seconds, so considerably better on a decent track with Howard as competition.
All in all very pleased with how the session went. Good starting, good hurdling and good flat speed.
This week is basically ticking over before next weekend.
Bring it on!
