Speed Session + Lactic Acid (C3H6O3) = Empty Legs!

Yesterday's tack session was a good laugh. The team consisted of me, nephew age 19 and nephew age 11. The wife was doing a yoga session in our house with my mother in law, so a hard track session didn't seem like that much of a chore!

The session

1 mile - (with little nephew) - 9.46

1 mile - 6.51

800 m - (with little nephew) - 5.07

800 m - 3.17

400 m - (with little nephew) - 2.44

400 m - 1.27

200 m - (with little nephew) - 1.12

200 m - 37s

So with this being my fist speed session, there were a few interesting findings. With my weight at 4 stone 8pounds, and me 5ft 8, here are the results ;)...

1. My lactate turnpoint is probably around 7.30min/mile
2. My maximum sprint is 4.10min/mile over 200m

3. My physical maximum HR is 192 bpm

4. My "full out" sprint lasts for 20-23 seconds before ATP+Creatine stores are wiped out!

All rather uninteresting I suppose!

But on the plus point, this morning's gym session felt ok, though I will be doing an easy 5K tonight! As tomorrow is a Gym + Hill Sessions day!
