Run intervals 20:00 [4] 3.2 km (6:15 / km)
Intervals session on the inner city waterfront, notionally 10x1 minute. Headed for the inner city because I was worried about black ice in parklands (in the dim early morning light), though it turned out the temperature had risen slightly above freezing overnight and it was a non-issue.
My expectations weren't terribly high given stiff quads and tight Achilles in the warm-up, but this turned out to be an excellent session, gathering pace as it went on and feeling sharp off the mark, particularly on the later reps. Dropped from 63 at the start to 55 at the end, although it's somewhat sobering to think that there was a time that I could run for 20-30 minutes at the pace I was managing for 55 seconds today (at 270 metres, this is 3.23 min/km, slightly under my 10k PB pace but outside my 5k one).

Run warm up/down 21:00 [3] 3.7 km (5:41 / km)
Warm-up and down. As expected, felt rather better on the way back, buoyed by a good session.
Went looking for a replacement for my intermittently misbehaving watch today, but fairly quickly discovered that the types of watches which are sold in shops in central Geneva aren't the types of watches that I was looking for (and not just because of the number of zeroes in their price tags).
