Week Starting 29/03/10

This week, I attempted to step my training up a little, to get ready for the start of the track season in mid-April. I completed a 2km time trial on the Tuesday of this week, and recorded a respectable time of 6.11, which I was fairly pleased with, considering the atrocious conditions that I was up against! I completed another track session on the Thursday, which went less well for me, but I guess this is to be expected following the taxing time-trial just 48 hours earlier. Today (Sunday) I competed in a 5k in Alexndra Park- Manchester, where I finished 6th with a time of 17.30, just 20 seconds off my best. I would thouroughly recommend this race to anybody wanting a PB over the distance, as the course was flat, well marshalled and the race itself was cheap to enter. I hope to compete thereagain later in the year, if I get the chance.

Sessions this week-
Tuesday: 2000m Time Trial- 6.11
Thursday: 5x500m- 70 second laps
Friday: 3 Miles easy
Sunday: 5k Race- 17.30

Week Starting 22/3/10

After a long cross country season, spanning seven months and including over fifteen races, I've been mainly resting this week, and have only completed two sessions, a 5x1000m, and 6x500m. My main goals for this coming track season are to dip under the 4.15 mark for 1500m, and go sub 9.10 for 3000m. Who knows, if things go really well, I could possibly qualify for the English Schools Championships for the first time, but for now, I'm just focusing on getting the speedwork done, to lay the foundations for a really good summer!

Sessions:
Tuesday- 5x1000m (76 second laps)
Wednesday-2x(3x500m) (Flat Out)
