Comm Games RR was fantastic! Didn't get there 'till after 2, but cheered the boys on 'till the end.
We were hovering between the 500m and 200m markers... even scored a bidon from one of the Canadian blokes (not sure who, he was in a group of 5 and just hurled it at us)
Top day.
no worries, pyramids hurt a lot. You may want to start with 10 secs sprints sets until you can handle 30 secs, that's a long time at full effort. Go 10 secs on, 50 secs off for a while until you see how your recovery goes with each one. You should be resting the day before and after hard sprint workouts.
On longer sprint practice, you cant go full tilt the whole time, it's more like a short TT burst to get used to a longer effort at the end of a race. You should still have the legs to sprint the last 10 seconds on the minute so don't go too hard too early.
