Training Log Archive: fletch

Slow shuffle on tired legs. Improved slightly through the middle, until I had to go aver anything bigger than an ant hill. Then just felt leg weary. Unsurprising after yesterday.

Interval time again.
7 x (1200m with 800m jog recovery)
Target time 4:12 (3:30/km)

Had another rubbish night's sleep. Seems to be an unfortunate holiday pattern, so didn't get this done in the morning. On the bright side, the weather was really great for running this afternoon, the running track was empty (I had been worried that weekend soccer may have taken it over) and my breathing got progressively better after starting a bit ordinary after a couple of days of gardening related activity.

Started the first rep a bit quick, but then settled into the right pace and felt fairly comfortable. Still hit the target for the next couple, but didn't feel as good. Picked it up a bit for rep 4, figuring I could always call it a day at 6, but felt better and wound it up a little for the last couple. Pretty dead at the end, but given that the last 2 were comfortably my fastest reps, that's hardly surprising.

Pretty happy with that session. I must be fairly fit to be able to knock that out. A bit more speed work after the marathon and Sprint orienteering might seem like a good idea after all.

Started too hard, and it was quite warm and extremely humid. I cooked myself to the point of needing to take off my singlet and hat on the cooldown.

Blergh.

Little loosener along the river. A bit more grip on these than the Sauconys, but I hadn't really allowed for how wet the ground would be after a day of fairly constant drizzle. Pretty slippery in places and I hit the deck once. oops.

Also got sledged about my shoes for the first time. I anticipate many more to come.

Uninspired early afternoon jog down past Matilda Bay
