Thanks John! - For me there is a world of difference between a 600 and an 800 but i am pleased at how i toughed out the finish.
Splits were - 32/38/39 as opposed to last week’s 77/88 of which the first 200 was only 37.
I may continue this type of stuff over the coming weeks as there is a series of 1000m handicap races coming up. I will keep the training for them to max runs of 1000 and continue with my usual speed and strength work. I do wish there were more 600’s though as i do like them.
Yep no problem with me doing that and i’m sure
that sometimes that will be the case. I will probably
run a couple of 1000’s also though along the way.
Still looking to go under 60 for the 400 !!

I stopped training after just one set
tonight as my numbers were well down
and i have no energy. Last night’s racing
at Masters must have really taken it out
of me and i did have a longish day at work
today. I will rest up and hopefully be ready
for my usual Friday session of 60’s etc.
