| Putting out some controls for the AROC race on the central coast and some other general running. Map was a housing development plan. Quite interesting challenge to adjust to. |

Super happy with times. Ave bout 8 to 10s faster than previous. Didnt expect to be so fast yet, but maybe just under predicted how fast can run these.
Felt good from start. To be expected in easy week. Good to know how to get ready to race.
Found the mental side, concentrating on map between intervals quite tough. Must be good training. |

| 20 x Boardwalk intervals in Bicentennial Park
Very similar to last Thursday, except I threw in the long boardwalk as well (meaning 8 intervals per set, and only did 2.5 sets, but this works out harder than last week)
The set of intervals is:
Path A out (roughly 24sec)
Path A back
Path B out (roughly 11 sec)
Path B back
Path A out and back (~50s)
Path B out and back
Path C out
Path C back
Start each interval on the minute (so recovery is typically 35-48s) except for after Path A out and back and Path C back when I give myself an extra minute (after Path C out there is a very short rest which really hurts)
Time 1 Time 2nd set Time 3rd set
23.5 22.8 22.7
23.4 22.2 23.9
10.3 9.9 9.8
10.0 9.9 10.0
48.6 48.2
22.2 21.9
39.8 38.8
41.1 40.0
consistently sig faster than last week. not sure there is much room for improvement now in terms of confidence on the boardwalk, just fitness to go. |
