I had quite enjoyed my first Track Tuesday. So I was looking forward to the second. I had checked online: this time, after the warm-ups, we would do 1 x 1000m, 1 x 600m, 1 x 400m, and that three times.
I felt better prepared this time. I had an idea of what was coming! And I enjoyed the warmup, and then we started. I now knew roughly where in the lineup I belonged. It was a slightly different group this time, but I recognise some people with whom I had been doing some running in a small group the last time. So these were my people.
I did the first two series with them. Sometimes I felt I could have sped up. But we run single file! So I figured I would do the last series on my own. Then I could go as fast as I wanted. And that's what I did.
I'm not timing my individual laps, or half laps or whatever; I just Strava the whole session and in the end it will tell me how far I've run, and if I have run any particular bits faster than before. And things such as pace and heart rate. But I should probably start using my watch to find out if I am actually making progress. I'm turning into a running nerd! Or rather, an even bigger running nerd than I already was!
He didn't make us do strange things in the end, and I did a little cool down lap with Chris. It had been good! And this time I had run no less than 11 km. And in the last series, I had really given it quite a lot. So I felt satisfied. And it has been really nice as well, I'm getting to know the group a little bit better. I like this!
