Relaxing shorter 'long' run around Kings Park and surrounds with Rachel and GB. Nice way to start the day, made nicer by brekkie afterwards. Mmmmmmm. Even nicer when the girls left me some of their pancakes :)

Recovery week over. Back still stiff, achilles still need attention, but other than that, feel well and truly recovered.

Event: Woodlupine Metro Series
 

Aaaahhhhh. Rest day.
Probably a good thing. Right knee and both achilles have been increasingly niggly this week and I haven't been as regular with stretching. Have started the Nurofen gel. May also need to start some ice massage...

Assuming I make it out of bed tomorrow morning I will have made it 4 weeks without missing a session for the first time in a long time...

Similar to last week, but without the enthusiasm. 8 x 3:2 between Clayton's and Burns beach, plus WU and CD

Gentle recovery blob on Quinns Beach

5 x 1500m @10km pace with 2min slow jog recovery. tRicky was there today and running damn well. ie I not only had someone to run with for a change, he beat me on all but the last rep. Had to reallt focus not to chase him and blow up and just try to run the right intensity for the whole session.
5:22, 5:25, 5:23, 5:23, 5:22

Got the pace pretty much right this week. Felt a little better than the last 2. Wonder if Tooms was right about it being easier running the reps in the opposite direction...

Just a warm-up spin for a good stretching session. Starting to feel the effects of a few solid weeks of running. Most noticeable yesterday was that both achilles, whilst totally pain free moving were sore to touch.

Will have to make sure to do everything right for the recovery week... (no MetrO for starters...)
