Last lap speed

It's the interval night with the club.  Tonight is 3 x 1600m with 1 minute recovery.  I run with my usual group of Rob, Rob and Jenny.  The first 2 x 1600 I hold on to the pace but it is a struggle.  We run consistent 1:45 or a little faster laps.

Rob W leads the last 1600m and goes off at a lightening pace.  I manage to hold on to him.  On the last lap I am able to open up and manage to run off the front.  I sprint finish the last lap in 1:30.

I can only think that I am pathologically lazy.  Soon as I know we are finished I am able to pick up the pace.
3 mile sessions are psychologically easier.  Still I felt like it did me good and was very enjoyable.  I do like the track work.
