Cycled to Rosendals and ran from there. It had been raining pretty heavily while I watch the Lions match and I thought Hågadalen would be muddy. Went to the river as a result. Worked well with the timing where I parked. Felt pretty heavy doing this warm up and some of the more dynamic things I was out of breath after which wasn't the best. Bit humid out.

A slow tempo but high effort. From the first 5 minutes I though the pace seemed hard. There was a bit of a headwind which wasn't perfect but it didn't seem huge. Headed south along the river and tried to up the pace after 5. Got somewhere for a while but slowly creeped slower. At the end of 10 it was clear I wasn't going to go much quicker so from then on it was just hang in. The bit across the marsh was not perfect for intervals as it was a 2 plank wide boardwalk, though it was nice. On the way back it still felt like a headwind and the speed just wouldn't happen, even though I tried very hard. Wrecked feeling by the end.

Not really to plan. Was supposed to start at 4:20 and work down to high 3:50s. Not sure what the problem was/is. At least it was a good hard mental effort.

After sitting on a bench for a while (and leaving a bit sweat mark, sorry next person) I got myself to a shuffle and then a jog going back up the hill to my bike. Realised about half way I had forgotten my jacket at the bottom of the hill. Seriously considered just leaving it but went back so ended up having a longer warm down.
