I have had the flu or something similar since Monday
and nearly didn’t go so it was a light evening.
how does that work?
Hi John, All starters simply pick a position around
the track which will have them (in theory)cross
the finish line right on 50secs (no watches).
Closest finish time to 50secs wins.
As i wasn’t reallly 100% i just kinda went around
for the run. Had i been fair dinkum i probably
would have tried to run about 335-340m at a
much more even pace. As it was the first 200m
or so was more like a jog and i went across the
line in about 59
sounds fun and you were right to take it easy.

8 x 30 steps flat out on the mini tramp

knee lift and arm position). 90-120s rest
between each one.
I like this session - i think it will work quite
well to get my legs moving along.
Cooldown 3mins of slow jogging on the tramp.
2 sets of 60 alternate elbow to knee crunches
(or whatever you call them)
I decided that i didn’t want to venture too
far away from the TV today as i have been
watching the Olympics. Probably not ideal
but i wanted to do a session so i basically
repeated what i did yesterday with a couple
of additions.
