wednesday windy speed session

wednesday:

i went out with the intentions of running a session of quarters but the wind had other ideas. i felt nice and relaxed heading over to the grass track and after running my strides i was ready to go. i wasn't feeling fired up but i thought i would be able to work for it today.

after the first repeat i knew it was going to be tough. on the second repeat the sprinklers came on. and by the third i was thinking one more and i'm going back to work. i think i'll try and have another go at it tomorrow.

run: 3.2k easy, 4x100m strides, 4x400m (1min recovery), 3k easy
warmup: 3.2k - 4:50/km pace

4x100m - 114m-21sec-(3:05/km), 115m-19sec-(2:46/km), 108m-19sec-(3:02/km), 114m-16sec-(2:28/km) - it's easy to see which way the wind was blowing.

4x400m
1) 1:16 (419m) (3:02/km)
2) 1:19 (422m) (3:10/km)
3) 1:17 (401m) (3:12/km)
4) 1:13 (405m) (3:02/km)

2.5k cooldown w/ 500m @ 3:40/km
