15min warm up, 6x 4/1, 15min warm down. Such a nice morning for a run, chuffed to have spent it in a sweaty cycle room.

As weird as it sounds, I actually had to go and observe people at the uni gym to write a report on the power relations and behaviours and what not. Obviously I wasn't going to just sit there and blatantly watch people workout with a pen and paper so I used the epiptical as a mask haha. Foot pulled up a little sore today though so I had to make sure I wasn't lifting my heels off and using my calves. Half hour was definitely enough time on it though

Mostly physio exercises and core but a bit of everything.

Easy laps and kicking while I was there. Wish I had been using the uni pool and gym this much the last few years aswell, it's so handy!

Pre-breaky JOG woo! Foot was sore for the first 5-10min but once it warmed up it didn't give me any more grief which was good. Glutes, quads and hip flexers were a bit tired though. Even my easy jog pace is now slower than it was like a month ago, that's kinda depressing.

Physio, working my way to having buns of steel.

Cycle class after uni. Super tough class again after another big day. Well smashed.

Physio leg strength and trx core.

Early morning swim at uni. Finally get told running is ok and it's a ridiculously busy week :( Although another day off the foot probably isn't a bad thing after the weekend.
3x 300m free (with a bit of breaststroke when the lane was blocked) warm up
10x 100m efforts w/15sec recovery
300m kick
300m free warm down

Quick trx core before the cycle started

Foot didn't pull up well at all, but neither did the rest of the body. Really wanted to shake my legs out somehow but didn't think a walk was a good option for the foot, so took it easy at a cycle class. Not quite feeling 100% either, think it might be a bit of stress from uni...

Warm up and tiny little warm down, foot couldn't really handle much more.

Pretty nervous after my struggles on this map at easter last year so I started off really conservative. Had a little scare coming down to 3 because I hadn't aimed off, so from then on I was just super careful to make sure I picked everything off. Foot started to give me a bit of grief about a third of the way through and I got pretty desperate to avoid all hills. Lost about a minute on the long leg because I stayed straight and very slowly made my way through the bush. Happy with the nav until the last few short legs after the spectator, pretty much lost all concentration because I felt so buggered and the downhill was so rough on my foot, so lucky to have not lost more time than what I did there I think. Definitely felt like I was struggling big time physically, but I guess it was pretty hard not to on that course. Really enjoyed it! and my best senior NOL result so far, so thats kinda cool!
