6km temp

Cool breezy night at Centennial Park.

Got through a 15 minute warm up with the legs feeling okay, probably the best they've felt for a Thursday session in a while, although the drills seemed to take their toll.

Session was a 6km tempo. Ran it in 23:01, which I was a little disappointed with. Started a 3:45 lap and just seemed to ease out a couple of seconds a lap from there out to a 3:53 on lap 5, managing a 3:49 for the last. Seemed stuck in gear and couldn't lift. It was blowy and soft underfoot with the rain from the last two days, and I guess Tuesday and Wednesday's efforts were still in the system. Legs seemed okay, just top-end restricted.

Thinking on it, I would hazard a guess that the flu and subsequent cold has cost me around 9-12 seconds per kilometre in outright pace. October will be about getting that back.

15 min cool down to finish.
