I wanted to see if I could pull myself out of the 4m30 per K rut I've been running.
So I thought I'd try some K intervals at Nathan Road, Kippa-ring.
I did 2K warm up (9m00!) then;
3m20
3m27
3m19
3m24
with 2mins recovery.
As hard a session as I can ever remember for effort. My breathing was laboured, my recovery non existent but it was a start and I was only expecting to run 3m30's.
The Nathan Road KM is 900m dead straight rough tarmac with a 90 O turn before the final 100m run just along side the small airport.You can make out Nathan Road in the photo above and the left turn in front of the hangars. The road is built marginally above the surrounding wet lands. The airport itself is also very low lying and beyond that is Deception Bay.
