I was a bit tired for this session and nearly jacked it in after the first rep. then my reasoning was such that "i will just see how the next rep goes, it will build speed endurance into the legs even of not the quickest set" I didn't reckon on running the negatives and certainly couldn't see myself running a flat 4 last rep, after the first (i was trying my hardest for the sub 4 once i realised it was on but just couldn't scrape it). It's amazing what a bit of stubborn determination can do. Note to self, lay off the bike on the "session" day!

Given how i was feeling at the time, there is definately a lot more in the legs that I was able to give last night, I feel i could have been at around 4min/km the whole set if I didn't have tired legs.

The groin issue has been fine in terms of the running, It was just a little murmor after the 2km session but soon went silent again and been ok since, not a peep during last night's session.

Resting HR a bit high again, hopefully into recovery the next few days now and see that lower again. I am fatigued and haven't slept the best this week which doesn't help. Looking forward to Saturday being very lazy!!
