1/2 mile intervals under police surveillance

KING KENNY, POLICE AND SPEED!
I ran down to Selworthy Rd to run a Arthur Lydiard interval session, surprisingly I found Steady Eddie at the start of the Selworthy 1/2 mile hill loop about to do the same thing!
I gave Eddie a 20 sec start then shot after him, rounding the corner and up the hill I could see the presence of a large Police van with blacked out windows outside the house where there had been a shooting incident back in March when someone had let off a round of bullets into the house.
It seems the police were 'expecting trouble' again as they had been keeping watch on the house for a few days now!
Selworthy Rd is a very posh area where houses sell for millions and famous ex footballer and manager King 'Kenny' Dalglish MBE lives!
[ we ran passed King Kenny out walking on our second effort!]
Eddie and me ran 6 x 1/2 mile, I'm not sure what the Police thought of us as we ran past the house each time, maybe we might be on Police video and they are checking to see if we are on the 'most wanted list'!
At least they didn't stop us [ well we didn't have anywhere to hide a shot gun under our racing vests and shorts]!
My legs still felt a bit leaden and awkward but at least I was running a fair bit faster than last week.
I am now heading into the summer midweek races, so I'll be following along the lines of Lydiards continuation of racing programme so I will include 1 interval session [ 6 x 1/2, 3 x 1 mile or 12 x 400] each week, one tempo run or race, a 1 1/2 hours steady run, a leg speed session and a long hilly run of 1 1/2 - 2 hours each week.
