A short session of intervals

Up early for a 7 am massage with Easy Tiger. Went pretty well, couple of little niggly spots but nothing serious or too painful.

With the SMH Half on Sunday, SW had shortened the session for those racing to 6 x 400. Wanted to go solidly but comfortably early, and push the speed in the later reps. Seemed to be a big group tonight, which made negotiating traffic early in the rep difficult. Times went 81, 79, 78 ,77, 81 (traffic), 75. Good strong last rep, and felt like I could have put out another one if I'd had to.

Still thinking about the approach for Sunday - might try and aim for around 19:20 or so through the first 5km and see how it goes from there. The 5k from Hickon Road to the Domain is the hard 5k of the course, so if it's a little hard I can still recover at reasonable speed on the 5k back to the 10k mark, and if I'm feeling strong there's a good stretch from Macquarie Street to Argyle Street, and from the turn off Argyle Street to under the Harbour Bridge to make relatively easy speed.
