SLR - shortened

Escaped the essay hellhole for a much anticipated steady, but my trainers are recently over the 1000km mark. Turns out this is the point where you stop eroding them because there's no padding left to go, and they retaliate by eroding you. Turned around and hobbled home with various combinations of barefoot, one shoe or heels-out, none of which are comfortable, or fast, or dignified.

Back to the essays then.

Microo on Lammas Land, very impressive use of a below par area. Good fun even if there were a few errors, sprint-o brain not quite there yet

Down, laps of lammas while waiting for the last exercise, home

Skipping one S+C session as legs are too heavy from the weekend. Seems dangerous to make the calves tighter than they already are, especially given the shin pain at session today

WUP/CD and session (forgot garmin, numbers stolen from strava + a tolerance for WUP and slowness)

5mins,4,3,2,90s,60 off half the previous rep at Downing fields, which are very disappointing due to their not being located at Downing. Clearly there was something in the water at varsity with Paul and me both falling off our usual respective paces with dying calves

Huge grind to get this done, and a shin twinge just at the end to really cap off a nasty session. Need to roll and reexamine, but I don't think it was anything particularly real.

Yesterday's S&C

Monday steady, feeling pretty heavy-legged for some reason. A loop that involved Grantchester with Paul, Pete and Hamilton, didn't feel too grim when running, but a concerned staircasemate asked how I'd fallen in the Cam when I got back.
