saturday:
i had planned on running a 10k time trial today but i left it late in the day and it had warmed up nicely by the time i managed to get out. thinking back to the start of last year i ran my first sub 40 minute 10k during a similar run. again a few months later i ran another time trial over the distance and ran 38:50 and then two or three weeks later i ran a time trial in 38:05. i guessed it was a good session to help bring on my fitness so it seemed like a good idea but...
things started out as planned and i ran the first two kilometres at the pace (roughly 3:40-3:50 pace) i was hoping for but then i lost focus somewhere and it was quickly all over. it was a good outcome as it gave me insight into where my fitness currently is. just as i thought - i need to work on my aerobic fitness. the modified session became a good workout though to save the day.

3.2k warmup with 4x100m strides
