Training Log: slow-twitch

Red zone, what I thought would be a shorter circuit than my usual, but apparently not.

Bottle Lake, Long circuit. Par time for what felt like a very sub-par performance - lost momentum on the open sandy ridges (at about 30 minutes) and while I did eventually get over a bit of stop-start, never really felt fluid again afterwards. Given how the time compares to what felt like better efforts, maybe the problem was I set out a bit faster than I should have? Admittedly I did spot a turn in the marked trail that I've missed every other visit, but if anything that 'new' section would have added a tiny bit of time as it snakes around a bit more than the road section that I've previously done instead.

Gentle run home from work, via Gardens/Hagley, trying to ease some of last night's suffering out of the legs.

Hagley Park 5k. Very slight improvement on last week. Managed the pacing over the first half a bit better (assuming that the 2nd k was just under 5 minutes rather than just under 4 that my run-addled brain thought at the time) but still struggled in the second half (don't know how much of that was psychological from thinking I'd stupidly pushed way too hard in that 2nd k!)
