One set of doubles with Rachel against Daniel and Zak and one set of singles against Daniel.

3x8min tempo at 4:30/4:20/4:10 with ~1:30 jog recovery on Rosalie Park

Didn't feel likely to sleep and therefore didn't expect to feel like doing a long run early tomorrow morning so thought I might as well get it done early. Went around the river and through the burbs to stay in the light. Took a little while to get going and felt like a bit of a battle into the wind down to Tawarri. Achilles got a bit irritated by the climb up to Jutland Pde but it settled down after a while and I felt pretty good coming back through Dalkeith and Nedlands.

Three sets of doubles with Rachel against Damien and Rob. Strong wind made life difficult and more recent practice for Rachel and I showed a bit.
6-1 6-2 4-6.

Struggled to get myself out the door again this morning but got there in the end. Glad I got myself out there but the legs were still feeling a bit heavy. Kept a reasonable pace but tried not to push too hard in the second half.

Couldn't find the motivation to drag myself out of bed in the morning so I had to resort to intervals in the afternoon with Greg on the grass track at McGillivray.

600 in 2:15.2,
800 in 3:03.1,
1000 in 3:47.8,
800 in 2:58.3,
600 in 2:02.9
all with 90 second rest,
then 4x~150 with walk back recovery.

Felt awful warming up but not too bad once we got into the session.
Ran the first 200 in about 41 on most efforts then settled to 46-47 per 200 for the rest except for the final effort where I tried to hold the early pace all the way.
