Isometrics 4 x 40s @ 30kg

Quads sore from the downhill yesterday.

Camped Sunday night at Honeysuckle with Ewan and dad, and the following morning we drove down to the Orroral Ridge, parked, and walked up and down having a poke around in the rocks. I then ran back to the campground doing 5 min jog, 1 min walk again. All good except my legs aren't used to such big descents.

Event: Melbourne Sprint Weekend
 

6.5 x 5 min jog, 1 min walk. Felt great just plodding along for awhile but achilles seemed a little tight at the end after the visit to the gym for calf work. As if I didn't have enough obstacles to proper running I got some asthma. I'm pretty sure the asthma is triggered by the darling cat we gave Ewan for Christmas. Will clean our bedroom and evict the cat from it and see if that helps. If not, I guess I'll just have to get myself some triamcinolone like Sir Bradley.
