These were difficult today! Initially contemplated doing all 10 with just the jog recoveries, but my quality was being jeopardized so had a 60sec rest after the 5th rep
With Áine--which really pushes me, as SHE IS SO FAST.

C • 200's pace 2

Warm up before the set, and drills
Cool down afterwards (~6mins?)

---
3x walking lunge with weights the 100meters or so--5kg each arm, 10kg each arm, 10kg. bar across shoulders

10 minute core session with Áine and Fran

Sports massage with Sarah--she really worked on my calves and the muscles around my shins, with a little other work on the rest of my legs. So painful, but SO needed.
---
Unfortunately, I had planned my run for just after weights (and the massage), but she instructed me to not run, as she had really aggravated the muscles. Really annoying, but I followed her instructions. :/
---
Shins were bothering me again today while just walking around.

Left shin hurt consistently while walking today--so took another day off running.

calf raises
lunge wall stretch-with bent and unbent leg
leg on knee stretch
hip flexor strengthening
push ups

Hot flow yoga at Shaping Futures--SO sweaty.

Left shin really hurts today

'Long' run with Helena round Aykley Head, next week we are vamping the distance up a tad. Left shin ached the whole way round :(

Shin hurt a tad during the warm up. But hasn't hurt post-race...which is AWESOME! :)

push ups
lunge wall stretch
leg on knee foot stretch
calf raises
leaning back on knees

Parkrun this morning with Áine. My legs were. so. dead. Really struggled around this today both physically (getting my legs to move) and mentally. Not pleased with the time, but it is a good baseline to work from. Forgot my barcode in my bag--so it won't be recorded online--but I think I was runner 93? I will be attempting to race at the weekends throughout exams and until I leave, so I have plenty of time to get down around the 20s! And the whole summer to go sub-20! :)

LET'S DO THIS.

My kilometers were really inconsistent; times:
1k-3.54
2k-4.21
3k-4.26
4k-4.29
5k-4.25(ish)

Left shin hurt when walking around this morning, going to ice them and give them a rest, but may run in the evening. Entire body is still super sore from weights--its kind of awesome. :D

V chilled run with Caitlin through Flass Vale
