4 x 1600
Well, looks like I've picked up some sort of mild cold-type thing. Nothing serious, it's just like a really mild version of what I was getting last year, bit of a headache and some sinus pressure. If truth be told, it feels like it improved slightly on yesterday anyway, so it's cool. Seems like the classic taper thing. Bit tired, though.
Started the day with an Easy Tiger massage. Calves and achilles were a bit chunky, probably from the extra articulation required over the weekend, but things were otherwise pretty good.
Felt pretty tired throught the afternoon, and grabbed a quick 20 minute nap in the car before training. Joined the squad and everyone was whinging about how beaten up they felt after Nowra - probably not ideal before a 4 x 1600, but life goes on. SW wasn't giving much sympathy - he was comprehensively smashed up!
So, after a crummy warm up, session went:
5:41
5:46
5:39
5:40
A little slower across the session compared to Anzac Day, but I suspect the 400 metre track was a good deal shorter then than tonight. Happy with the consistency - got a pretty crappy start on the second one and found it a bit hard to get a rhythm.
Head and cold felt better after the session. SW advised that tonight was the last session he wanted to see me do hard, and that all the work was done now and I was to take it easy from now on until GCM. Uh, he did kinda schedule 17km in 1:15 tomorrow, but I guess I can handle that. Eh, I'll get out there and roll along.

Seems to be a few GC marathoners have come down with lurgies. Must just be the body reacting to the reduced workload. Hopefully you'll be over it in no time.
See ya real soon :-)
Yeah, there's a few bugs about the place at the moment. This really isn't a big deal - I was fine at the session tonight and it wasn't a hindrance from a breathing point of view.
Good one Vat. Hope that cold goes away. 17k in 75mins doesn't sound to easy to me!
Yep the pre marathon cold!! Take care. There are some photos on CR from Nowra... seems like ages ago! Yes and your right, Bernie and I are having a ball!!!
