Little Possums loop with Rachel. Calves a bit tight early but they loosened up after a while. Started to feel my gammy hammy a bit after half way so had a couple of stretching and massage stops. Felt quite good towards the end apart from the hammy so sped up a bit to get it over with.

10k loop with tempo effort from O'Connor Rd to home (7.27km 29:27) plus a short warm down to Taree Rd and back. Feeling a little bit stiff and tired but no real problems. Lower calves have stiffened up a bit after finishing.

Hammies are feeling a lot better after a massage last night but I thought I'd play it safe and have a day off anyway, seemed to help last week.

6x1k with 1.30 walk recovery at the oval, 10k pace with 5th a bit faster.
Felt reasonably good warming up but probably didn't do enough as the first lap of the first effort was a bit slow (3:52/km). Pace picked up a bit after the first lap and ended up being a really good session.

3:43, 3:36, 3:33, 3:31, 3:21, 3:32

Supposed to be aiming for about 3:40 but it felt pretty comfortable and Cam did say 3:30 initially before I told him that was more like 5k pace for me so I figure it is probably ok.

Started to to stiffen up a bit at the head of the right fibula on the way home, same issue as last Tuesday. Need to get the hammies massaged and do a lot of stretching. Spending a couple of hours pulling out weeds on Tuesday probably didn't help.

Easy run from car through Shenton Park and Kings Park.

Easy rehab loop with Rachel. Felt good apart from a little tightness in the lower right calf. New red shoes felt pretty fast.

Precautionary.
