5km windsprints

Date: Tue, Oct 4 (6:30pm)
Conditions: cool, dry and clear with a slight breeze
Location: ES Marks, Kensington
Session: 4.8km windsprints (float the bends, sprint the straights) in 19:12. Ave HR 170bpm
Sleep: 8 hours, not particularly high quality
Feeling: A little bit tired, with some tightness down the outside the length of both legs, although this was much improved after a warm up and some drills.

Numbers even more down this week with the soon-to-depart Martin holidaying in Cairns prior to his Melbourne Marathon assault. Looked like it might be me toiling solo under SW's supervision, but Sam turned up just before drills. She lead a few of the opening and some of the middle laps (hence the time slower than last week) before I worked on completing a hard last four laps.

Interesting session from a heart rate point of view - there is little time for recovery, so the heart rate is consistently working in a tight band from the mid to high 80%s to mid 90%s.
