The Anatomy of a 20 Lap Effort

February 18, 2011 by Peter Fletcher

On Wednesday I produced a personal best for 20 laps of Jacob’s Ladder.

It was a warm – no make that hot – morning and being very still it made things tough.

I started at 4:38am, a bit earlier than usual.

My fastest lap was 2:50.15 on lap 6 and my average lap time was 3:08.63.

I took it very easy on lap 1 and then to a lesser degree on lap 2. I really don’t enjoy lap 1 and find it very hard to lean into the pain.

My last 15 laps were done in 45:02 and the last 10 in 30:03. Pretty solid. I’m happy.

Here’s a table with all the lap times.
