road running 1:20:00 [3] 18.0 km (4:27 / km) +70m 4:22 / km
shoes: Hoka Rocket X
Easy - 6 mile Fartlek - Easy
I had the session written down and went to do it straight after the school run on the lanes I have used for marathon training before, the inlaws live there and its as flat as you can get really but about 30 minute drive from home.
Nice quiet country lanes though so I don't mind the travel.
I had it written down but for some reason I couldn't compute the mixture of metrics. 6 miles of 400 / 1200 confused me and I couldn't figure out how many I needed to do.
I realise that sounds stupid now but at the time I was trying to put it in my watch, get changed and lace up the new HOKA rockets that had arrived.
Anyway, I did 7 sets to be on the safe side and it was the toughest session since ecoming back.
It was all pretty controlled but the lag on the watch was a bit annoying so mainly by feel then half way through a rep I would glance down.
I liked the Rocket X , closer to a marathon shoe than the Carbon X
3:40 felt fast , 4:05 felt comfortable enough.
Not much else to report...
Session went quick so that was good considering I did an extra one and no issues after.
