Given the City2Surf this weekend, I wanted to do a short, sharp session today so decided on 6 x 800m. I did it on my normal "800m course", with the standard 1.6km warm up and warm down. I was really happy with my splits (for what it is worth, compare to the last 8 x 800m I did in July):
2:34 - avg 3:13min/km
2:29 - avg 3:06
2:29 - avg 3:06
2:30 - avg 3:08
2:27 - avg 3:04
2:27 - avg 3:04
The Timex watch doesn't give me heart rate and when I download the data to the PC, I can't see the distances per lap unfortunately so have just assumed each lap was 800m.
So, an average of 2:29 across all the reps (or 3:07min/km). That is 2 seconds faster than the last 8 x 800m I did, and 4 seconds faster than the first one. Can't complain about that! The body felt pretty good too. No more hard runs now until Sunday.
If I can get out of work in time tonight, I'll try to do "The Bear Complex" Crossfit WOD. Stay tuned!
