Training Log Archive: blairtrewin

Original thoughts were running in the morning and riding at lunchtime but the rain had stopped by the time I got up, so I thought I might as well get the ride out of the way early (given the choice, I'd rather run in rain and ride in the dry than the reverse). Took my first outing onto the new Heidelberg Road bike lanes before heading up along Merri Creek as far as the Ceres bridge, then made my way back across Thornbury and Northcote on a route which encountered an inordinate number of garbage trucks. Never really got going properly on this ride, which was perhaps a reminder that this route as a training route is best left for weekends.

2 minutes on/1 off for 30 minutes, heading up into the industrial area of easternmost Thornbury, which isn't very exciting but is at least flat (I don't want to test things on hills yet, and even the very slight downhill coming back was noticeable). Managed the step up from Sunday, but again tight on the inside of the left leg and feel as if I'm still a bit away from a continuous run. Had a physio session tonight and she agreed it's very tight still.
