probably took this session abit to hard considering it was supposed to be a rest week, wanted to make up for missing the weekend so started quite confidently but then as the session went on desided my heart rate was to high and tried to slow down. stomach ache on the last rep made it to uncomfatble to run

hit wall at about 8th min and then again at 17. probably went of to fast at the beging
quite tough on the legs as it was all up hill untill the last bit where there was a hill and a flat. this was probably the easiest bit, last 800m, as soon as i start to stride out i become alot more relaxed and its not so tough, but that may just be a psycolgical thing

2-97

felt physically tired again and could raise no effort to run any faster

Thursday- 20x60m hill

Fin 183........ave 173......max 195

felt quite tired again and affected my warm up, was very minamal, was also not as sharp as i would have liked over the first 20m but could feel my self picking up asi got into some sort of rythem


overall the week was very tiring, not because of late nights but probably because i am not use to this amount of running, but thats another complte week, so things are looking good. fingers crossed!!
