Today's (9th Dec) Interval Training at AU Athletic Grounds

Hi All,

I apologise for the long silence (read posting of post-run reports) due to various factors out of my control.

Today morning when I was leaving my house at 4:40am, it was drizzling and chill outside and was worried about the track conditions if it had rained/raining. But to my surprise there was no rain in AU campus and the climate was awesome for running. I reached at 5:05am and later joined by Harishankar and Ramesh Mckinsey.

Ramesh declared he is going to try a different kind of interval running as instructed by his trainer where after the speed laps stop (not even walking) for 2 minutes and then once again do the speed laps.

We started the interval run at around 5:20am. Myself and Hari were together for the first 6 laps or so and then KK joined us. I was alone doing my interval training as per my pace and Hari had joined KK and was running with him. I had finished my 15 laps and was stretching and KK was discussing some running efficiency postures with Hari. Later Balaji came running from his house and joined us.

Balaji said " He was disappointed early in the morning" when we asked the reason below was his reply.

I came running over the new flyover (cenotaph road) and when I was on the top I saw two expats running in the opposite direction and I stopped and asked them whether this was the first time they are running on this flyover? The expats said "NO, we had run yesterday also over this flyover"
Unquote

This was the reason for Balaji's disappointment that he could not become the first person to run on the new flyover!!!!!

Then Balaji and KK went for few more laps of running and then we all dispersed.

Happy Running and looking forward to tomorrow's LSD run from Dimensions Gym.
