Notes
Didn't get in any strides. Just got my shoes on and they called me over to the line - turns out they ran the 'fast' heat first this time. I got in NO fast running at all, no strides etc. Not sure it hurt me much though. There were only 4 of us in this heat - Joseph, Norry, Kristina and myself. And we finished in that order. Joseph ran away from us from the beginning but he rest of us were bunched together with me leading the way for 300m. Then both Norry and Kristina passed me with a lap to go and I couldn't increase my speed at all. I finished in 5:47 and they finished in 5:38 and 5:40. Funny thing is, it didn't feel 'all out' at the end but of course why didn't I run faster? Probably because it WAS all out.
So, I think I improved from last week's 5:24 1500 which equates to a 5:50 mile. I'll run the Bang Mile tomorrow morning and then do another 8-10 miles on the LG Creek trail afterwards.
