Warm up & strides 11:30 [3] 1.1 mi (10:27 / mi)
ahr:136 max:160 shoes: Blue Saucony Grid
Run to the start and two sets of strides - in the second set I actually remembered how to move my legs properly fast again. That was a bit novel.
Intervals 24:48 [5] 4.0 mi (6:12 / mi)
ahr:184 max:195 shoes: Blue Saucony Grid
Today I had one of those oh no, I can't do intervals, Oh I will, actually, maybe my stomach is playing up, oh, but I really should meh kind of days . I finished all my experiments bang on 5 (success!) and made a bargain with myself that if I did 4 really good mile intervals that was a big enough session after 22 miles on Saturday. So I set out slightly dubiously and was rewarded with a really good session. Again on the cycle track so not totally flat and not 100% accurately measured, but times were:
6.10
6.17
6.06
6.15
Pretty pleased with that after being so silly all day!

Recovery 6:46 [3] 0.7 mi (9:40 / mi)
ahr:157 shoes: Blue Saucony Grid
Short jog back to the hospital - going to have a longer spin back to Rob's to try and work the legs out properly.
Cycling 26:11 [2]
ahr:124 max:162 shoes: Blue Saucony Grid
Cycle to the Dentist in Muirhouse in a monsoon. Not pleasant. Even less pleasant when the dentist did her usual out of the room in three minutes flat whilst causing as much blood to escape from your gums as possible job. I wish there were more NHS dentists in Edinburgh.
Cycling 21:08 [1]
ahr:129 max:151 shoes: Blue Saucony Grid
And a flat spin back to Rob's place, feeling much better after that. Totally whacked now, good day! Watching so much Olympics aswell as doing all my experiments is a tough call.
