Epic training session w Marty. Has asked him for a half marathon sessions a few weeks ago and we finally got the time to go out and do what he suggested. Plan was a lap of LakeG (7.1k) at 3hr marathon pace (4min15s) and then lap in sub80 half marathon pace (3min45s). No rest in between. Marty was planning to run with me for first lap but then faster for 2nd lap.
As should've been anticipated running w Marty the first lap was faster than 4min15s. Felt very cruisy and we chatted the whole way although maybe I was less chatty towards end of the lap. Did the lap in 4min07s average (28.34 for the lap).
2nd lap was harder than hoped from the start. Marty headed off ahead doing 3min15s. Lap wasn't helped by what Marty called "the bogey km" beside John Knight Park that is well treed, lots of walkers and a bit windy and always seems to slow the k average down on the watch. Was working a bit hard to hold the 3min45s and up onto each bridge saw the k rate drop back a second or two. Pushed hard over last k to try and get average back down to 3min45 but was fairly ragged and ended with 3min49s k average (26.35 - PB for the lap including races).
Great session, training. Good of Marty to do session with me as obviously slow for him.
Flex n Stretch. Flipping cold. No fog on walk to class at 6.30am but pea soup on way back at 7.30am. Go figure.

20mins at threshold (3min48s ks), 2mins rest then 5*30s on 30s off. Threshold was hard going although pace was manageable. Lost a bit of focus in 30s efforts due to tiredness. Good session on commute to work.

Back in the berra so headed out just before dark and did Mona fartlek round LakeG. Left it a little late as last half was a bit too dark. Felt good and managed 5.1k Mizuno's were nice.
