Ye 12 graduation and general lethargy combined to make yesterday a nothing day. Nearly had a repeat today, but found just enough inspiration to look at the new NYC stuff on Zwift while also watching the Amsterdam marathon.
Half of the ride is on virtual flyovers, so the clumb data on AP won’t look anything like the Zwift data. Lots of little ups and downs, with nothing long (unsurprisingly for a course contained entirely within Central Park.

Yesterday was an unscheduled day off after I had to supervise the year 12’s shenanigans in the evening (yes, they are all ‘pre-approved’ these days). The highlight of that was parking a workmates car inside the Yr 12 common room.

This run was meh. Right calf not terrible but not good. Followed by shockwave at physio and a bunch more glute exercises to do.

Wanted to run, but the calves weren’t feeling 100% Rode 2 laps of the Volcano climb. Went pretty hard up the climb first lap, but didn’t help myself my starting to push a couple of km before the clinb actually started. Was trying to convince myself it wasn’t flat out, but I was pretty stuffed at the top (8:06). Recovered, then steady tempoish effort on the second lap, before climbing the volcano far more sedately and rolling through to the end of the loop.
Played staff vs student soccer at lunch today. Good fun, but missed a sitter when a cross beat everyone else and all but landed on my foot, only for me to soray it from about 2m out.

Round the waste water plant anf through the ‘burbs. Right calf not happy :(
Haven’t remembered to take magnesium for a few days, but I suspect it’s more to do with the effects of needling etc wearing off, meaning I haven’t fixed everything in 2 runs like I had hoped :(
