little run. I had a long day at uni and i got home just as the others were leaving, but I went along for the first 30mins. Was a bit deprived of food/energy to go for longer or harder but felt good foro the bit i did.
Will try harder to eat properly when Im out all day at uni. On the plus side I got my assignment done!

Took the Boulevard route which is my new favourite way.
Running hills (PM streets) 41:00 [4]
Big triangle loop with 8x 1min hills. Recovery varied from 30sec-2mins depending on the location of the hill. Felt good and finished hard, but I had an annoying stitch in the LHS of my chest- back is probably a bit tight.
I will find a proper steep hill down by the river next time so the intervals are more consistent.

Tempo run- I ran downstream from Chandler bridge for 15mins (made it to the bottom of the bats hill for future reference) then turned back, pushing for a negative split which I got!
Felt good, pushed well, a good way to makle sure I do my hard runs hard till the end.

Running (AM trails) 43:00 [3]
Early run with Kez and Reubs- my first run in daylight! Legs felt a bit sluggish after lastnight and struggled with the hills in the last 20mins.
Toilets at the bat park weren't open so I had to find a bush, someones dog nearly found me..
Shorter than planned because of a bit of pain/tightness in my right leg so I have to make sure I stretch and give my calves a massage tonight.

Running hills (PM streets) 57:00 [4]
I have enjoyed one month of being pretty lazy, but training has started again with my first hard session since woc.
Ran with Reubs and Kez around the big triangle via Tash's place. I ran each hill hard, as a varied hill intervals session. Started off feeling good but struggled a bit with the last ones, wasnt recovering so well. Tash ran all but the first 2 with me and that definitely helped; we were around the same pace but it seemed like I was working harder.
Times for the hills: 1:49 2:31 4:03 2:09 1:43 2:16
Recovery varied from 1min to 4.5mins.
