Training Log Archive: Craig

Longish run with a bit of tempo on the way back. Quite a few ectopics in the second half but no sustained AF. Planned to do 90 minutes with a bit more tempo but I wasn't feeling that good so decided to just take the short route home and jog slowly once I got to the end of the fun singletrack. Ankle a bit uncomfortable still but handled the Strettle reserve singletrack ok at a decent speed.

Short hills on the public walkway between Holpin Pl and Benowa Dr. This hill is about 3 times as steep as Bailey Rd (25-30% vs 8-9%) and it did feel a bit more worthwhile. Alternated springing on toes, slow full strides and sprints.
AP gave the climb as 56m which is clearly absurd.

4x1k + 5x200 all with 90 second walk recovery down at the oval.
Felt reasonably good warming up but still feeling pretty cold at the end of the warm up. Grass seemed in pretty good condition this week, recently mown and quite firm. Getting really out of breath and feeling slow by half way through the first interval and that theme continued through all the 1k efforts making me feel rather unfit but I was going a bit faster than I expected to. Started to recover a bit doing the 200s and felt quite good by the end. Ankle a little tender when cornering or stepping on uneven ground but didn't really notice it much.
Heart was ok I think, may have been a few ectopics or maybe nothing, definitely still find it a bit worrying to push the heart rate this high.
