AM
Rest.

PM
*30 min easy running.
*Strides.
*12x 300 m/100 m jog; 47-48 sec (first one 44 sec) / 8 min rest / 8x 300 m/100 m jog; 48-49 sec / 8 min rest / 10x 300 m/100 m jog; 48-50 sec (most in 48.5) / 4 min rest / 2x 300 m/100 m jog; 47 & 49 sec.
(all in all 32x 300 m mostly in 47-49 sec).
*30 min jog.


*First one fast and effortlessly in 44, soon afterwards pressure starts to build and i felt bad after the 5th but got rhythm back. Had to stop after the 10th. Then did 8 more, and these felt bad all the way. The following 10 starter with a bad feeling (3rd and 4th was in 50) but suddenly somekind of resistance dropped and i could run quite effortlessly. The second last went effortlessly in 47 and the last, a 49 sec, started telling me that my legs have had enough.
*I stopped because the number was growing big for my standards and because I started to feel that my legs might be taking damage from hitting the track without proper "safety strenght & flexibility" - even if the running was quite smooth - I even got comments on the smoothness and how it doesn't look anything at all like before.
*This session was supposed to be a 300session untill death from tiredness and not lactate. I did not get THAT tired. It might have to do with speed. If I'd tried to keep myself hitting closer to 47 instead of 49 I might have done a better but shorter session - on the other hand it feels like a fine line - when I'm repeatedly doing 47 lactate starts building for real during the last 100 m and I believe I would have to quit because of lactate (and too soon) instead of tiredness.
*What this session might be telling is that my aerobic fitness is quite good (other sessions has told the same) - but that my lactate tolerance chemistry can't deal with much pressure at all. (?)
*This is a monster session for me - I've never done more than 8 + 7 300:s (if my memory is right).
