Rode out to Warrandyte. It was hard work most of the way especially when those hills start. Didn't enjoy the firts half at all- horrible strong gusty wind, stifling hot, and the hills felt harder than usual, though I ahvent ridden them for a while. Better on the way back though I rreally ran out of energy for the last 20mins- I have to remember that 1 bottle of sports drink isnt enough for 2hours.

Ripped up to the single track after work with Reubsy. Im so much better than when I first went, getting out of the saddle more to go over bbumpy stuff and accelerating more out of corners. Heaps of fun!!

*note good stretch after. need to make time to do so more often.

Ran down the a loop round the river, from chandler accross the the pipe bridge-golf course-back across the suspension bridge-ack via the river, took all the long cuts.
Ran at a pretty easy pace for most of it although I sped up a bit in the last 20mins because I wasnt feeling too bad. Some tired/ sore spots in legs so had a good stretch afterwards- back has been really tight lately.
An ideal warm summer evening run, though ideally it's not summer in the middle of spring..

Ran hills over by the river. 15min run there then 3x hill from tha bats, then ran a couple more hills on the way back.

3x hill from bats to teh drink fountain at the top. Timed them tonight and ran hard. Recovery run back down was a bit of a pain (about 4mins)
4:08 3:49 3:49 Obviously got to start harder next time.

Two more hills hard on the way back; 2:15 1:30

from work to uni and home. saw a bad bike crash on the way home so was riding very cautiously..

Did hiils today, not exactly intervals, just trying to get as much hill as I could. I ran up the hill from the bats to willsmere, it was almost 4 mins up and I did four in a row (not flat out, but hard, being up hill)
Felt a bit tired to start but got going ok.

Arvo Boulevard ride. Riding hardish to keep up with Reubs in parts, felt ok.
