Very nice

Very tidy session

Off training in a moment. Four sessions before saturdays 2k race.
I pulled 6.36 at BIRC and at Belgium in Nov. My lowest for a long time. The pace then was 1.39 pace. I couldnt hold 1.40 properly during the middle. My pb pace is 1.34.2 I have spent over 6 weeks hard dieting and training. Hopefully this saturday will see me take one step forward. Ie gained confidence from the 9x500s at 1.35, but more importantly eating and living so precisely have given me my old confidence back.

Really comfortable. Used the first 15 mins as a bit of warm up.
Tomorrow is the real indicator of how saturday will go

Just off to sit in my iced bath with my recovery shake

Good piece and best of luck for that 6:29 {minimum} on Saturday!!

Nicely controlled negative splits, considering that the monitor was covered.

Not sure whether to be pleased or pissed off with those.
Not sure wqhether these were easy or not. Couldnt be arsed to do any more.
WTF should I aim for in my 2k on sat....Ideas on a postcard

What fast pace are you comfortable cruising at now? 1:40? If you're not comfortable cruising at 1:37's yet then make a race plan to reflect this. If you know that 1:40 is a comfort zone cruise pace (in 2k terms), and we all know you can put in a fast 500 when needed, then go off hard for a couple of hundred, cruise the majority at 1:40, and finish fast, and break 6:30.

So I'd say blast out 5 to 7 strokes, settle over the next 10, and so getting to 150m under 1:30 pace. Be at 1;35 by about this 150m point, and slowly back off from there down to 1:40's over the next few hundred, getting to cruising pace around the 500m point, with the average around 1:36. Cruise for 1000m, then start to build the pace back to 1:35 quickly, down by 1 sec every 100m, and sprinting the final 200m.

nice stuff Kev.....
how come that avatar hasnt changed in the last couple of days ??

Interesting approach to 30'. I might have to try that sometime.

3 1/2 hrs of American Football yesterday... I am (seriously) struggling to walk or bend at the joint as a result today...
Therefore 30 minutes r25 was completely without any effort.


30' r25 1.57.9

Good way to spend a day, even if it does leave one a bit ragged.

Thanks for keeping this forum active. You never know when we will need it again.

Because I have arthritis in my hips and running is bad for me, so thats why iwent running with Pete M last night. It was great to hit the track again. Admittedly I was shQt but still managed to keep ahead of the bloody fast ferret taht is Pete of anything under 50m.

Tonight was an 8k with a possible 2k spurt at the end. No chance cos my hips n groin were buggeryied.

8k 1.51.x r27

Definately feeling powerful again, but will have to wait til my groin calms down...

Good 8km Kev
