Intervals going in the right direction

First opportunity to try SW's advice of taking the first few reps easy, and saving it up for the last two.

Fresh night at Kensington, with a bit of a breeze. SW had gone to some lengths to ensure the track was closer to true length, which seemed to see some of the markers moved out quite some distance.

Oh well, training is training. Down to business. Reps went 86, 86, 83, 84, 81, 80, 76, 73. Felt very strong on the last two with good strong sprint on the back straight for the last one. Pleasing, felt I got quite a bit out of the session. SW mentioned afterwards I'd looked strong on the last rep.

Felt I was loafing a little on the first couple - it was a big group tonight, and the juniors do seem to bolt at the start.

Saturday will be interesting. I'll try to focus on not smashing myself in the first 5k and bringing it home hard over the last five. We'll see how it goes.
