Self Transcendence 1 Mile race
In an effort to keep up with Graham and his 3 races in 4 days I thought I would go to club via the meadows and do the Sri Chinmoy 1 miler. I have never timed myself over a one mile only course and thought well it can't be that bad if it only goes on for 5 and a half minutes. (Questionable)
I hoped the stiffness and heavy legs would ease off on the run there. Not really and I started the mile feeling tired. Scott H started well and it took till about half way round before I managed to catch him, and then it was probably only his lunchtime (accidental) speed session with some colleagues that saved my bacon.
None of the three of us had done the mile before so pbs all round. Richard was pleased to go under his target of 6 minutes (5.48), I considered my 5.20 as the starting point from which to improve. Scott was 3 secs behind me. Richard and I went off to join Gordon's group where I lasted for only 2/3rds of the session before retreat. There's only so many hard sessions you can do in a row to the point where you're not doing any good. I was relieved to hear Lucy was also feeling last night's race in her legs. No racing this weekend.
