McKay Oval 6x200m Reps

A short run tonight just to try out the new spikes.
Ran into Centennial Park and did a few reps around the grass oval. A bit bumpy the ground under foot but otherwise ok.
Felt a bit strange running with the spikes on, but I didn't really see much difference between them and the racing flats I usually wear.

Reps were 36.4, 36.5, 36.1, 35.0, 34.8, 35.8. Very consistent. As recovery I just walked slowly around to the start again, which on this oval is another 240m to give the legs a full recovery.
I had a 1.1k warmup and 1.1k cool down after the session.

Not bad Flake.

If it's wet Saturday night you'll have heaps more grip with the spikes. One tip - don't trip over when jogging around (easily done).

Finally a distance and session where I could keep up ;-) Sprinting is my strong suit.... I loooove running in spikes - the feel of getting up on the toes and digging in.... bliss... pity I torture myself with mediocrity and distance :-)

Onya Flake - you are going to do fine on Saturday.

Nice work Flakey.

So what are your running plans between now and the race? Do you have a goal time in mind?
