May 10 - Speedwork Lexus Centre
Tonight was the R2TG Training Group, and a return to speedwork.I had been feeling pretty tired and sore most of the day due to the hills, and returning to running after a week off, so wasn't expecting too much in the way of performance. I also felt a bit under the weather, but hey, what doesn't kill ya will only make you stronger.
Anyway we headed off to the Lexus Centre track and split into two groups. I went into the easier of the groups and we were to do 2x400m, then 2x300m, followed by a 500m time trial.
The two 400m were pretty good, I felt okay and hammered them out reasonably quickly (...well quickly for me!). Then the first 300m and I was still travelling alright, but the sore legs were taking their toll. The second 300m and my right hamstring really tightened up and I couldn't stretch out.
I completed the 500m time trial, however only at about 75%, which gave me a time of 1m40s.
Hopefully a day's rest on Thursday will have me right again , and I'll be primed for the speedwork on Wednesday night next week.
