Training Log Archive: slow-twitch

Bottle Lake. Started off pretty well, surprisingly smooth and felt good. However thought I'd better bypass the open sandy ridge section at about the 30 minute mark. A wise idea in principle but turns out the forest track running parallel turns into a deep sandpit anyway. That brought me to a halt then couldn't get running for more than a couple minute bursts after getting out of it so decided to take the short loop home - then had to turn the watch off while finding where the short loop forks off - the trail map needs some work here! Got my mojo back once back underway, which is good as it turns out the short loop isn't that much shorter apparently!

Hagley Park. Just under 29 minutes continuous (was aiming for 25, so a pass) with a short warm-up and even shorter warm-down at either end. HOT - but only felt an issue when I ran out of trees to be under and/or river to be nearby.

More or less typical red zone circuit from home. Horrible, but less so than I deserve for all the time off!
