Dwindling daylight savings
It's getting dark earlier as we progress towards the end of daylight savings, and the overcast day in Sydney today didn't help.
Got through a 4k warm up in my Frees (which feel a bit more like bare feet on grass), and felt a little stiff from yesterday. The session was 3k, an 8 minute break, then 2 x 1km with a 1 minute break.
Then I found out why the weekend was compartively easy training-wise. SW announced he wanted us to race the 3k, with a reward to the person most under their PB. He didn't care about the 1k times.
So, set out without much of an idea of what to do, and soon enough saw Jenny and Greta up ahead, and decided to chase them. Felt pretty solid through to the 2k point, and pushed harder to run a 10:02 - would have been nice to slip under 10, but hey, a 5 second PB is a 5 second PB.
Felt a bit weary for the 1ks, but managed a 3:17 and 3:19 to round out a very solid session. Faded a bit in the last kilometre, but good overall speed. Very pleasing session. Think I'm starting to come back into some form.

So Vat, did you win the reward? What was it anyway, an extra 1km to run :-)
Single figures for 3k would have been nice. But hey a PB and a couple of fast 1k reps. You are looking good Vat.
Ah, yes, the reward. It was a $50 gift voucher from the squad sponsor, New Balance, and no, I didn't win it.
Nice effort mate. You were looking comfortable on monday night - that was funny, I saw you up ahead and waited for you to get to the bridge but you turned beforehand - I then had to sprint to catch you up ! I reckon a P.B. at Canberra 10k is in order.
I thought when you said you ran solidly for 2km and were aiming for 10.02 you were running 5min/km. I knew you were way faster than that but then I clicked and realised you were running 10.02 for the 3km....man you are fast!!!
Well done on the PB. It is always rewarding to get them when you know you have done the training and put in the effort.
