Legs were aching (espically the right leg) from Friday. It was windy so times were slower for the effort we were putting in. Think i may need to do a couple of 300m on the track just to get used to running aggressivly on the track. Overall my legs were the most tired after this, everything above felt ok soon after the session had ended where as the others had gone light headed and were not complaining about the legs...i dont know if that means i have to work on my legs a bit more.
Sunday

the second set was not faster but i think i was turning around quicker. Anyway the session was the longest three minutes i have had in a while, the last rep my legs got very heavy.

wanted to keep going untill i ran 29sec at the same effort and i think it was coming however it suddenly became very windy. Run felt very easy whilst doing it but legs were supringly tired on the jog back home (more so than if i had done high quilty work, probably because of what you said earlier anout not doing enough work at race pace.) would like to do this session again to see if i can go faster at the same effort although i may do 6x300m when the picths arent being used, ( i know that the length is 300m so i know what speedim running at then)

(route was the same pach of grass ive been using for last couple of weeks, so i know the 300m runs were pretty close to that distance and the first 200m is pretty close to a real 200m. The 400m is pretty close give or take 5 or so metres but the second 200m was shorter, prob nearer 180m.)
the first two reps were fine qnd everything felt pretty easy and like i was hanging around during the recoveries ( felt like i was running well and not struggling to much despite running fast, the 300m was the fastest i have ever gone on this route). However the 400m killed me and from then on the running became very messy. the last 80m of the 400m i started to slow but up untill the 400m was going ok. the last 200m and 300m rep felt basically all over the place espically the last 100m of the 300 . After the session my legs felt kind of numb for a short while, almost burning sensation in my legsn (nothing serious, legs fine now and were ok once i was home, think they had worked quite hard). Walked and joged home slowley. Feeling ok now but am getting and earlish night as have suddenly become tired...i think sitting revising in one place does not help.
[Question: if i did 3x300m as fast as i could would this be instead of a lactic session or can it go in day two? Would quite like to get a session where i am running near 35s before the 400m on wednesday but am not to sure if i should do 3x300m on sunday and monday lactic session rest tuesday, but maybe this maybe to much and may need to run 3x300m on sunday and have two days rest. Any thoughts. i will see how i feel on Friday and Saturday]

liked this session, pretty much lead the session from the beggining. The other runners were 1.53-4 and a 1.55 so was a good condfidence boast as one of them was throwing up after the end of it where as i recovered pretty quickly. so is good to see im fitter than some of these guys and running at their standard.
Was running well and felt strong and in control. The hardest set was the second and legs felt pretty tight after it but the long recovery meant i was feeling pretty good for the next two.

800m race....2.00ish???
was not a good race and the time or posistion was nothing speacial. Bad tactics let me down in the end...went of fast 55seconds first lap in very strong winds in back stright and then tryied to relax into the wind on the second back stright but was a mistake as i then couldnt speed up again. Was over taken at about 250m to go and pretty much lost confidence i think...hadnt prepared well.
So the weak point here was 500m-600m. but not sure if that was a confidence thing as i may have been worried about blowing it by going to fast as i had had a fastish first lap.
