shoes: Nike Lunarglide 5
Jogged to intervals on Castle hill.
Albin Ridefelt turned up tonight which was exciting ;)
6x530m hill rep with 40m climb.
Times: 2:00, 1:56, 2:02, 1:58, 2:04, 2:02
Very variable, let me explain... The nature of the hill meant if you pushed too hard up the hill, the little 100m flat bit at the end was hell due to the lactic. Where I mention hill I mean the steepest section.
Rep 1 - Pressed with Albin, died at the top, he got away.
Rep 2 - Pressed with Albin, hard up the hill, didn't die on flat as much, he got away still though.
Rep 3 - Very hard from the start, tried to break Albin early, died up the hill (when he passed again), died on the flat. Biig effort from him to catch me.
Rep 4 - Stuck behind him till the hill, pressed hard up the hill, didn't die so badly, psychologically killed him.
Rep 5 - Tried to do the exact same, felt the last effort in my legs as I went past him, didn't get big enough gap to psyco kill him off, big effort from him, me physically and mentally crushed.
Rep 6 - Knew he was shattered, pressed hard from the start, he had lost from very early on.
3min flat tempo at end: started hard with Albin, died mentally, Cat caught me, fought on through the lactic.
960m.
Awesome session, great fun training (racing) with Albin.
