Pretty frustrating morning. Planned an 8km at 3:25-30/km but completely slept through my alarm so had to run later in the heat and once the wind had picked up. Thought I'd still give it a go, but HR was super high from early on and was becoming way harder than planned.
Still some decent effort, but annoying as the legs were feeling good.

Redemption!
Felt pretty fresh this evening, so decided to just give a short trail loop a bash and see how I felt. Smashed a few segment PBs and felt really good. Form much better than this morning, and nice cool weather which made it enjoyable.
Did the Fernkloof loop towards Kanonkop, down the single track, Lemoenkop loop and then back to the gate.
Really decent day in the end, might actually try this sort of 'double tempo' thing again. Nice to get in a road one and a trail one rather than having to choose one.
