Too windy! 
Normally I prefer not to time windy sessions as the slow times induce negative thoughts,however I persisted today but kept the Garmin on heart-rate so that I couldn't see what the wind was doing.
Jogged 400m recovery.

Noticed that the wind had dropped after I finished the session having jogged 600m of my recovery and decided to run a flat out 400m (madness!) .
Ran 63.38  (146bpm) which is as fast a rep as I think I've run as a Master.
The high (for me ) heart rate up into the 170's shows these longer interval sessions elicit the race intensity work I was seeking.
Hoping the PF does not get any worse as I am hobbling around in between track sessions.
Racing next Sat in the State Open 5000m Champs.

I'm running 2km reps this evening, I might be able to get close to 6:30, but than I wouldn't be able to walk tomorrow!!! I think I will aim at 6:50-7:00

Boy that 400m was fast, maybe I'll try one as well!!!

good luck with the 5000m
