3,2,1...

Tuesday night long intervals - tonight, 3k, 2k, 1k. All around the increasingly longer track at Kensington, which definitely picked up some length on last week.

Had a little tightness in the chest again through the warm up, but it seemed to pass.

Tried to keep one thought in mind through the session - relax. The thing with that is you can't force yourself to relax (an oxymoron if ever there was one). I find I have to say the word in a 'relaxed' way in internal dialogue and then go mentally blank for a few seconds. It seemed to help last night.

Times were slower than previously but the track is considerably longer and the surface is getting softer. Times were 10:49, 7:15 and 3:29. Not fantastic, but getting there. I was pretty happy with the 3k, taking it out pretty easily and pushing home, managing to run over the top of quite a few people.
