run with alex from foxhouse round variousbits of longshaw. feeling a bit lightheaded today. maybe because it was hot. ran a bit harder at 40 mins as we hit a flat path and al sped up!
lovely day and nice to be in the peaks :)
RPE: 3

by the time i'd talked myself into the gym there wasn't much time left for cycling...

1 hour class

bought a new car :)

10 mins warm up
5 x 3 mins up upperthorpe with 4 mins jog back down (gg gg 273 273 cass)
10 mins warm down

took a while to get the legs moving on the warm up but then first two hills felt good. about 5m short on the 3rd and same again on the 4th although the 4th one took alot more effort to achieve same distance and was dead at the top. 5th and final 5m short again but totally destroyed. most consistent they've been in ages which is good :) had to sit down for the first minute of rest after the last one then walked 3 mins then did the warm down. good tough session!

track session with alex, same as 2 weeks ago.
3 1/2 laps warm up, drills, strides,
3 x {100, 200, 400} with 3x (ish) rep distance recovery
15.9 (2.14) 35 (4.08) 81 (8.16)
16.5 (2.13) 36 (4.28) 76 (9.49)
16.1 (2.15) 35 (5.09) 75
hard to stop the watch on the 100s so not sure how accurate the times are.
3 big laps warm down

disappointed with the first 400 but obviously wasn't trying hard enough as when i concentrated on running fast on the next 2 they were fast! think the last one is the fastest i've ever done a 400...

legs feeling last week still during the warm up but felt pretty good through the session so happy with it :)
RPE: 7
