First run at altitude. Legs felt good but heart rate was about 10-15 beats higher than what the effort felt. Well have to watch this to make sure I'm not working too hard.

Early morning plod. Everything a bit tight to start with and Achilles nagged a little bit (1-2) - eased after about 10 minute as I started to loosen off.

Immediately undoing the effects of yesterdays rest day.
After a little warm up I ran 3 km hard on bigger trails (av: 3.28), 2 km easy on little trails and 6 km hard on bigger trails again (av: 3.14). Eased off to the bridge, still running under 4 min/km until the uphill, before doing 5 x 5 lamp post strides. Felt very good on the strides, moving very smoothly. Knackered at the end.
I wanted to do some harder running but probably got a bit carried away again. That said, I'm happy enough with how I felt considering and nothing hurt injury-wise. I will feel this tomorrow though.
I may have a travel enforced rest day on Saturday, depending on whether I can get out after the flight, but thought it best that I a proper rest day before going. Training has been going well but I need to be careful building it back so this is a step to ensure I don't get carried away..

First morning run in a long time. Had a stretch beforehand but it still took 10 minutes for everything to loosen off. No Achilles soreness, but a bit of Tib Post soreness that eased through the run (1-2).
