Centennial 2 x 20 min tempo.

Again due more to time i avoided the HuRTs session  but did the next best thing and copied the lunchtime session that was 2 x 20 minutes (with a 3 minute break) first up this morning.
This is a new session on the calendar and one I've not done before, so was keen to see how i went as i normally struggle more on these type of sets.
Beautiful morning in town today, with not wind ( please note Tommy H), settled down for the first k and the aim was to just try to run each k about the same time.  Went through the 5k mark in about 19.12 and looked for the break at the 20 minute stage of the run, retraced the steps on the return and went further on the way back so was pretty happy with that overall.
10.55 for the 40 mins, average pace 3.48s
K splits were: 3.58, 3.47, 3.52, 3.48, 3.53, 3.36, 3.43,3.46, 3.50, 3.49 and 3.32 for the 550 mtres
Not a bad session, will do again and think its easier with a good crowd around to carry you along.

Will be there on Thursday for the HuRTS hill session that is planned, although have agreed to do the Biathlon, think Tom may pull the pin before then though. Even Kanser is keen to try to turn Young Timmy over in this one. Heard he has been having private swimming lessons to help him along :) Pete Walker is keen to take out line honours for the night.
I will give my honest assessment and odds tomorrow once i get a confirmed starting list :)


Cheers
