3,2,1....uh, again

Speed work tonight was the 3km, 2km, 1km session, with a 5 min break betwen the 3 and the 2, and a 3 minute break between the 2 and 1.

Had a massage with Easy Tiger in the morning which showed up a couple of little issues in the lower legs, particularly where the achilles plug into the calves, and around the front of the shin where the muscles attach to the bone. I'll go to him weekly until Gold Coast to ensure I'm on top of these things and ensure the legs are as good as they can be.

Fairly tired through the day and was a bit heavy in the legs through the warm up. It was cold and damp at Kensington. The rain had stopped, but it was wet underfoot.

Went through the 3,2,1 in 10:50, 7:12 and 3:22. Pretty comparable to last time we did this session four week ago where I went 10:49, 7:15 and 3:29 but with some handy improvements over the shorter distances, particularly the 1k, and it's worth taking the 1km into consideration. Hard to believe that was the Tuesday after the disastrous Scarborough Park 10k - ironic that I front up there again on Saturday in the 4km relays.

Solid, if somewhat unspectacular session, but good to see some strength in the last two reps.
