Training Log Archive: blairtrewin

A shorter run out to Koonya and then back along the coastal track - another classic run (or a minor variation thereof) here - it's been an intermittent regular of mine since I was 13. Took some time to get going and again Achilles wasn't great on the softer dunes, but settled down again once on firmer ground which wasn't really the case yesterday. Track seemed to be in slightly better condition than last year when parts of it had almost disappeared.

Swim at Northcote, a location governed partly by where I was at 12.30 and wanting to fit as much of the swim as I could into the lunch break of the Test (a task made considerably easier by virtue of said lunch break having its length doubled by rain). The water is always very warm here, which wouldn't be ideal for serious training but is probably not a bad thing for muscle recovery, which is a major reason why I do this session. Felt a bit unenergetic. Hardly anyone else around.

Given yesterday's events I was a bit apprehensive as to what I might find when I got home, but all looks OK (apart from the tree most badly burnt in the fire a couple of weeks ago). The really serious action was a few kilometres to the north - checking out what this has done will provide a theme for a couple of runs later on this week.
