Week 4 Run Efforts Monday 26th October

The clocks went back an hour yesterday making it brighter this morning, though it will be darker much sooner this afternoon. It's going to be a bit of a shock.
Making the most of the daylight I went out at lunchtime for my scheduled effort session. I was joined by David Archer and Danny Mann. Both work for Aviva and Danny is another TA Member, though he is a member of the original TA, the Terratorial Army, as opposed to Tri-Anglia. Danny is also a bit quick, looks every inch the runner, and was credited with a stage win in the RNR in 2008. He spent the warm up and warm down trying to talk me into entering Marathon des Sables. The answer to that, in one word, "no". Not for 2010 anyway.
The efforts. 3 x 400m aiming at 85-90s with 60 seconds rest, 2 x 800m aiming at 3:05 - 3:10 with 90 seconds rest and 1 x 1200m aiming at 4:45-4:50.
My times were: 400s = 1:27.7, 1:31.6, 1:27.5, 800s = 3:04.7, 3:06.4, 1200 = 4:50.0
