Tracktastic 🏃‍♂️😎

Hello everyone - me 🥸. Last night I attended the NTC track session of the classic 10 x 400m with 90 seconds RI. 

I had completed a couple of track sessions with Newcastle AC and another interval session on the road. So gradually, the speed conditioning seems to be kicking in. Add to this the 18:15 parkrun 5k effort and I’ve had a decent period of training. 

Even so, I didn’t expect the 400 reps last night to be quite so fast - I mean fast for an oldie like me🥸. First rep was 1:18 and I thought it was too fast as I do like to ease into these speed sessions. But I gradually realised that I could sustain this pace and event sneak some more speed in during the last 4 reps. 

 Wet happy with this session and makes me think a sub-18 min 5k may be possible. Time will tell but the last time I ran 400s at this pace was way back when I lived in Cambridgeshire training with St Ives AC. That must be 15 years ago!
