Either I was feeling yesterday's workout or today's session was tougher than usual. I frequently had to pause to catch my breath during sets not just between them.

And as I hoped, yesterday's workout jumpstarted me back to walking fast again.

I decided I needed to remind my body what it felt like to push hard but I knew I didn't have it in me to do anything sustained. So I did a sort of HIIT workout. I found a steep short section of one of the trails I use for hill repeats but instead of doing the whole trail I just did a short section and pushed as hard as I could up and then slowly went back down. Did 15 reps. I like the fact that after the first 5 or so my speed stayed the same but my heart rate dropped. I'm going to assume that's a good thing.
