Couple of laps warm up, hips and calves are still really tight from Sats fun in Tollymore

First track session in over a month I think, so I didnt have high expectations for my speed. Coupled with the sore hips my aim for the session was just to survive and then build from there.

Session was loosely based on the date (supposedly) so 1 / 3.5 / 3.5 / 4 / 4 / 2 / 1 / 2.5 / 2.5 and I have no idea what the recovery was, it seemed to vary.

I wasnt too bad on the shorter reps, but I really struggled on the longer ones and was dropping off the back quite a lot, but I'm sure I can pull that back fairly quickly once my body gets used to speed work again. First laps were between 94-99 so there is room for improvement there too.

Basically the Tollymore hill and dale route but with a slightly longer track route to the start of the first hill as a warm up.

Gentle spin on the turbo to get the legs used to the idea of moving again
