Bazoaxe Sep 2015 7:15pm, 3 Sep 2015 8,893 posts	Quote Pin Bazoaxe Mixed feelings about tonights 9.5 with 8 at MP. MP came out at about 3:10 pace when I was aiming for 3hr pace, however on reflection the HR stats suggest I wasnt putting in marathon effort
postieboy Sep 2015 7:25pm, 3 Sep 2015 2,675 posts	Quote Pin postieboy No point dwelling on the negative Baz, if your HR stats are right, you have more to give so that's good. Chippenham HM for me on Sunday, it looks like a fairly flat course so a good time is in order. How hard do I push myself is the question though.

LouLou Sep 2015 8:50pm, 3 Sep 2015 6,930 posts	Quote Pin LouLou Hill reps for me tonight. Body hates me already. Did deficit deadlifts this morning and also squats for the first time in ages. May not be able to walk tomorrow.
HappyG(rrr) Sep 2015 8:52pm, 3 Sep 2015 24,970 posts	Quote Pin HappyG(rrr) 11 x 400m tonight off 60s recoveries. Started too slow 89, 84, but then got down to 79-82, last one was 75s! The sight of two blokes in late 40s racing round a 400m track must have been a comical one indeed! So, are we on for Sat Bazo, Lou?! G
Bazoaxe Sep 2015 8:55pm, 3 Sep 2015 8,896 posts	Quote Pin Bazoaxe oooft,not after 75s 400s....... joking, plan is to go to Cramond and see if I can better last week.

Not sure I'll have recovered either Lou, but I'll give it a go. Will be nice to see you. Hope you get your work out of the way. What fun, a 3:15 thread mini-meet! G
