Stromlo XC Time Trial 1500m 4:32.3
Wednesday morning 1500m time trial at Stromlo XC circuits. I ran my previous 1500m TT (4:35.5) just over two weeks ago. Training form has improved since then. I was confident of running quicker today. Weather cool, dew on grass, some wind.
The set: Warm up, 5 x 100m strides, 500m 1:28, 500m jog, 1500m TT 4:32.3, warm down.
Splits today: 1:26.0,1:37.5,1:28.8=4:32.3 Splits 7th April: 1:25.0,1:37.2,1:33.3=4:35.5
All the improvement came in the final 500m, I was behind on the first two splits today, plenty left for the finish. Fastest 1500m since 2013.
Next time trial will be over 5000m, I'll wait for some decent weather in the next week.
