Tuesday Intervals with Rocket Lockets

This session was tops. I set a new record for getting to the meeting place 3:41!

Then I was whacked before it started, but as I was early managed to recover on the run up to the canal. I remember when getting to the canal with these guys was a victory.

Some elite mumbling translated for the lesser mortals turned out be an 8 minute cycle as follows. 5 mins on, 30s recovery, 1 min fast, 90s recovery. Do it four times! Justin pipes up that this is "his" session after his famous inability to comprehend it in Oct 2008.

Colin, Justin, Aisha and I made up the back markers and somehow I (yes little old me) ended up leading through the first rep. I made a conscious effort not to over do rep two but again I was somehow at the front. At the turn we were right at the other end of the park, uncharted territory for me. On the way back the ice wind whipped into us and rep three felt like I was being pushed backwards. Karen was right beside me most of the way. Rep four I caught Aisha but Justin and Colin went through on the sprint and with 30s to go Karen drew level and I found something extra and kicked through to max out with Karen beside me and Justin and Colin just in front.

I felt strong and very pleased with the session. Stiff during the afternoon so will need some stretching this evening.
