Training Log Archive: slow-twitch

Was thinking of doing a bit of terrain play in Little Hagley, but apparent almost from the start my ankle was feeling a bit weaker than yesterday (and I probably would have quickly felt a bit self conscious doing multiple laps in such a small area anyway...) so turned it into a fast partial lap of North Hagley, basically non-stop. Exact time recorded in case I turn this into a time trial - as if I'd ever be able to replicate the off-track bits with any precision!

15+20+15 minutes with 2 minute walk breaks + warm-up & down. Workrate and pace definitely picked up over the first 15 which was a nice surprise, and while I was then careful to pull the pace back for the other two run stretches they weren't as hard work as I was expecting. Also nicely surprised that when I first realised that it was going to all add up to over an hour (just so for total 'running' time) I didn't instantly bail and come up with a revised formula ;-)

2 x 16 minutes with 2 minute walks, + jogged warm-up and warm-down. 3 x 15 would have been good but I was short on time and not sure if I would have had the enthusiasm for a third one by the end of the second. Thighs seemed to be the body part most in shock from the sudden return to running...
