1st rep: I misread the target and did 1:51.8 rather than 1:51.1. After 6 weeks off, trying to correct it in the next ones seems nasty but my heart rate was very low compared to previous.
2nd rep was 1:50.8 with a harder effort all the way and a short 50m sprint. The highest that the split got to was 1:51.5 but I squeezed through the second km to bring it down. Average split is now 1:51.3, and I will try to hit that on 3rd rep to leave something for the last dig.
3rd rep was 1:50.7 so average was now 1:51.1 by my oxygen deprived calculation. Not looking forward to the last but hoping for a sub 1:50 for a new target. Pleased so far that I am still in the game. My long (failed and unreported) trying-for-an-hour-of-power must be paying off. And the cycling. Target for the last is to keep the split at 1:50 and go from 200 to go.
4th rep: 1:49.2 (7:16.9). Didn't think I would make it but toughed it out. Probably the right way to go fast. Very nasty in the last 500m but that's a 2k.
New target: 1:50.6!
Pretty pleased given the lack of speed work.
