Long reps

The Tuesday club session was long reps, which I thought I would have a go at just to sharpen up a bit although I wasn't prepared to put in too much of an effort before I was 100% again. As usual, they were on the other side of Switchback Road. The session was 6x1K with a 5:30 turnaround, and the fast pack was again fairly depleted. I wore the new adiZero Tempo. On each rep I felt that I wouldn't have run up the Lomond Road hill any faster if I had been fully fit, but I held back as soon as we reached Ravelston Road where I would normally have picked it up immediately to take advantage of the gradual downhill, and restricted my efforts to just staying on the pace. Took the outside line on each rep which accounts for the slightly longer distance compared to October, which does seem like rather a long wait between instances of what may be the club's most useful Tuesday session.
