Kingston Urban - fast running throughout and generally very few mistakes - went down a blind alley from 21 and lost 20 secs. A couple of hesitations in the final section, but overall a strong performance.

8 AM

Running 32:47 [3] 7.0 km (4:41 / km)
shoes: Asics GT1000

Loop from IVC down into Kings Hedges from the GBW and back past CRC etc... Felt pretty pooped.

5/5 before and after...

Fitness training intervals 20:00 [5] 2.1 km (9:31 / km)

Seriously intense interval session on the XT: 20 x 45 secs (on L18) with 15 secs 'recovery' (on L12)... Really tough from halfway onwards, but well worth the efforts. Aimed to keep the RPM above 75 and although struggled, probably averaged it.

slept:4.7 weight:74.9kg

On the ET before and after the intervals...

Fitness training intervals 47:00 [4] 4.9 km (9:36 / km)

Figured I need to get back into this stuff to get stronger/more aerobic endurance, whilst protecting legs too. 8 x 5 mins (1 min rec) - set the resistance to 17 for the reps and 12 for the recovery with the aim of maintaining 65 rpm during the reps. Tough effort, but good stuff. Thank Crunchie for Amorphis!
