32 left turns, 32 straights

My most hated speed session tonight - the dreaded 16 x 400. Ugh.

Warmer than expected down at Mackay Oval. Got through a fairly slow and stiff 4km warm up.

Session went:
1:18
1:17
1:18
1:18
1:18
1:19
1:18
1:18
1:17
1:18
1:18
1:17
1:16
1:18
1:18
1:16

Total elapsed time for the intervals was 20:42, ave rep was 77.63, and pleasingly, the average for the last eight reps was 0.75 of a second better than for the first half. The session compares very favourably with previous 400s, with the average slightly quicker than a 12 reps of 400 session from the end of January. Good, solid, sensibly paced session with a decent finish.

Illiacus does continue to play up, though, and I suspect it will need attention sooner rather than later.

Yeah, and this was on a grass track, in bare feet, over 6.4km (admittedly with recovery). Saturday should be interesting!
