It's my last track session. And to my mind it is going to be an easy one. 10x400m with a 1 mile tempo warm up.
We do the warm up and then to business. I believe I am fast twitch with a bloody mind. So I can sprint. I only do the distance running for the bloody mind. So most of the 400m I drive the pace at the front of my group. A couple of intervals I relax and really bang them out. 1:23 and all that.
One lap we get to 300m, and I turn to the group and say, this will be a 1.27 lap. (I currently have no watch) We all dutifully cross the line at 1.27. I have a feel for this now.
Then after toying with a couple of easy ones, it comes to my last ever lap of the track. I go on the B of the Bang of the start. Straight on my toes and drive. With 200m to go I open up. A couple of the faster groups at the finish notice me and start cheering me up. Then I go all out. A final bright spark on the final burn. And then I finish.
Mike shouts the time of 1:12. I tell him that I am finished and thanks for all his help over the last couple of years. I think some people do not believe me, but I am done. They ask me where that 1:12 lap came from, and the answer is that I am done. That was my sign off
