Pretty foul weather, never too enjoyable to get an ice cream headache just from the rain.
Luckily a nice short session on the cards so didn't have to endure it for too long.

Good stuff, very windy though.
More mediocre feels to start, but got into it eventually. Looking forward to an easier week next week though

Mediocre feels, not much speed in the legs.
Missing the gym tbh, think it helps me a lot for the faster stuff

Had planned for the 2nd B, but tragically ran out of daylight, so I ended up on the road round KB and back through the hospital. Calves not happy with this turn of events, wrong shoes on

5x 50m sprints at the end
Mud still nice and dry, but I was feeling pretty dog-tired so not very speedy today.
Speaking of, got immediately accosted by a canine on my first rep, and forgot to un-pause the watch after getting rid of him. Noticed after about 2 minutes, and ended up restarting, so more like a 10 minute first rep.
Tried to compare this session to the same one last December, but I actually bailed on it last time - clearly some kind of theme.

Took a very long time to get out the door, fell down a YouTube rabbit hole which was hard to escape.
Eventually got out for a Braids lap, and was rewarded for my tardiness with some sunshine

Flats were an ambitious choice, but pretty much got away with it, and the sun even came out after a chilly first few km to make this most enjoyable

Cycling 30:08 [1]
Even got out of the saddle twice, and only fell off once

Mud has dried up nicely, so moving okay. Had to stop for an emergency poop at one stage, but felt a lot better afterwards

A bird shit on me, which was most traumatic. People say it's supposed to be good luck, but feels like Matt was the luckier one

Grim headwind on the way out and killed myself trying to hold the pace - silly boy. Should have accepted it'd be slower and saved more matches for the return journey.
Stopped for a breather for a minute at the far point, and unsurprisingly it got much easier with the wind behind me.
Not especially happy with it as far as sessions go, but shouldn't really complain

Still glued to that saddle

Remembered to bring my headtorch this time, so a great success.
Last week's lack of mud proved to be a one off, and the headwind on the uphill turned it into a bit of a grind overall.
Still, altogether reasonable, and next week should be the last time doing intervals in the dark till October <3

Run 43:44 [2] 8.01 km (5:28 / km) +100m 5:08 / km

Just as well really, because I was not dressed appropriately for the downpour that followed shortly afterwards, so was glad to get home sooner

Test driving new watch which has a wrist HR monitor, so was a bit distracted during this. 219 max HR while jogging along tells me either it's shit, or I'm not as fit as I thought

Decided we ought to at least climb the Seat once in aid of the EUOC fundraiser, so after a brief jaunt up we then headed for some canal and WoL action.
Good stuff and good feels. Biggest couple weeks for a long time, but all very manageable, nice.

Now I just need to work out how to get out the saddle to give the tush a break

Tom's not run much (this was his longest run ever), so the pace was chill.
A bit longer timewise than planned, so was a hungry boy for the last few km

Mysteriously mad science vibes in the Centre for Science at Extreme Conditions, and something to do with The SQUID.
Possible she has been a Bond villain this whole time
