(rest day)
Rob got in super late last night so haven't had much sleep. Doing things with his parents tonight, so this is an impromptu rest day!

Running 41:00 4.3 mi (9:32 / mi)
ahr:159 max:189
After last night wasn't expecting much from this morning's session, but in the fresh and cool morning air my breathing felt normal again. Legs were tired on the Z2 before and after, but I was able to push them on the 3 x 6 (2) Z4 sections. Cool and breezy, another gorgeous morning. We really are quite spoilt here.

Strength 33:10 [1]
ahr:108 max:141
Session two of weights - pretty tired this morning and accidentally did 4 sets of the first three exercises instead of three. Ooops. Still feeling the DOMS from Monday a little bit.
Running 47:30 [3] 5.3 mi (8:58 / mi)

Marie picked me up after work and we went for a run at Maltby, at last! A beautiful piece of wood, golden sun...really great. Unfortunately I felt awful, stiff legs and struggling to breathe, and was mostly a metre behind Marie the whole way! But it was great to have company and great to be out on such a lovely night.

Okay, so it's not just the temperature, I am super sloooow! Today was a lovely cool, breezy morning, and the session was 4 x 600 (90). Felt so bad on the third that I increased the final rest to 2mins, and it made as bit of difference. I suppose it is about 3 years since I last did any real speed work but still - that's a bit depressing!

Is it slower to run long bends on a track than a squareish shape with 3 sharp corners and straights?

Note
Anyone got any good recommendations for somewhere relatively cheap to stay for four people in the White Mountains on the Weds and Thurs before the NEOC/CSU A meet?

ahr:157 max:178 shoes: 09 Saucony Grid
4 mins Z2, 22 mins Z3 with 10 x 10 (14) secs hills thrown in the middle. Caffeine drunk before exercise does strange things to me, felt light headed and had to push hard to get my HR into Z3 the whole way. Weird. Expected to feel tired from the weekend but was actually fine apart from weird caffeine reaction. Lovely day, warm but not crazy, and pretty dry.

Same session as last week but Lat Pull downs at 75lb instead of OH Disc rotations. Gym was packed, and had a minor argument with some pretty boy who wouldn't put all the benches he'd moved back, which eventually resulted in a girl getting hit on the head by a guy squatting. This guy was using cables and nodding in admiration at his own biceps. Eurgh.
