Putting out tapes at Yetar Spring. GPS trace is Rachel's.
Heart not good but I got lots of rests while hanging the tapes so it wasn't too bad.

Cycled over to burswood to help at the 5k. Hard work to hold 16km/h coming back into the wind but I still only averaged 23 riding over there with the wind.

Sprint - Splits

Event: MetrO 11-12: Nedlands
 

Around Perry Lakes with Rachel with 10 minutes at 4:30/km and a couple of strides. Heart ok for the first couple of minutes and about 2/3 of the tempo section, bad for the rest.

Cottesloe Beach run. Got there a bit late, just in time to see everyone leave. Heart bad from the start, came good for a bit then bad again so just jogged slowly out to the turn. I could see most of the group ahead but they were all pulling away from me. Saw Niamh running the other way and said hi. Heart came good again just after the turn so I slowly started to pick up the pace on the way back. Also a strong tailwind coming back which helped to up the pace. Had a few more flutters from the heart on the way back but I just backed off a little and they didn't last. Did an extra 2k hard up to Swanbourne and then jogged back. It was good to get a bit of harder running in but I never felt good and didn't really enjoy the run. I don't think I'll bother going again.

Didn't really want to go this morning but eventually convinced myself to do a few drills at Rosalie on the way to Lawley's to get some bread.

Was slightly tempted to join Nick and Dan for 2 sets of 10x400 but my heart saved me from myself. Heart was ok most of the time I was just jogging around slowly but didn't like anything faster which is probably just as well as my legs are still a bit stuffed from Sunday.

Easy run with a few gentle drills and strides at the end. Quads were a bit stiff and sore as expected. I couldn't run up the hills yesterday so I hammered the downhills to make up for it. Surprisingly good apart from the quads, feeling quite light on my feet.
