Club session - 10x400m

I did the 10x400m session at the club tonight, and it was a tough one.  Splits are below (these are done manually by me pressing the lap button on the watch).

A couple of weeks ago I blogged about doing 6x1K loops and what a good session it was.  The splits from that were:

Split   Time     Distance     Av Pace

1         4:10.7    0.59           7:04

2         4:11.5    0.61           6:55

3         4:12.4    0.60           6:59

4         4:09.7    0.60           6:54

5         4:10.7    0.59           7:02

6         3:53.4    0.61           6:24

Avg: 06:53

It's funny because when I was doing the session today, I didn't feel like I was going particularly quick (in comparison to the 1K session) but the times show that today four of the average paces went under 6 min/mile, with an average for the session splits being 06:05 min/mile.  I actually came home a bit despondent after the session today as I felt I found it unnecessarily tough, but the times show I was working very hard.  Onwards and upwards!
