Solid workout, Matt, especially refocusing after the splits started drifting up. The heat and humidity are definitely a factor, it's 35 C here in Connecticut (in the shade). Great progress and you'll be sub 3 soon.
@@tworunningbrooms I know 😂 happy with it, some reps the wind had me, others I didnt get it. Heat was the killer though. Well my PR on Strava for a half mile is 2:38 from the GNR last year I think, downhill part probably though. So maybe that's about right on flat knowing there's nothing more to do after that. I've been meaning to try an 800 PR attempt at some point.
I see very big variation like first rep 3:37/km and fourth 3:57/km was it related to heat? About the plans - maybe you'll come to Dublin on 22nd of September :) ? I'll run there as part of my preparations to Valencia :)
@@LeszekDeska thanks Leszek 😃 yeah heat got to me really quick. Maybe a little quick out the blocks for the first one too 😁 Dublin's not on my list for September but fantastic your running that one. Really hope you do well and best of luck. Valencia will be amazing, I'm sure you'll show us how it's done 👍
Well done Matt. Keep at it. I’m very close to confirming a marathon for winter.
@@kennyosborne5835 thanks Kenny was a funny day at the track. Great to hear your winter marathon is almost sorted 😃

@@RunFreeandStrong thanks Reto, a come back 😁 sub3 is coming soon I hope !
You pulled that back well after drifting from 2:54 to 3:10. I wonder what you could manage for one flat out 800?
