Tried to use this as the first part of a slightly modified session scheduled originally for today with running the 5K hard, with 2 x 2 mile hard afterwards.
However, after starting off I felt very early on that this wasn't going to happen. Legs extremely stiff and just did not have the energy so eased off after 1,5k. Surprised that I was still on 4:30 pace around 3-4k because it did feel very hard work despite easing off.
Pushed the last 500m but really the whole thing was just suffering.
Usually I am able to push through the last bit of the cold but I suspect this thing isn't done with me just yet and I tried to come back to exercise too early. I jogged around another lap and came back for a shower, paracetamol etc.
I am starting to worry this will effect my Marathon now if it isn't going away fast.

Still have the flu, but had enough of being inside with such beautiful weather, so wen tout after work for a 10k jogging around.
Felt hard work despite not pushing, legs complaining heavily for a combination of not being used since the half marathon and the weakness from the cold.
