Trails 45:31 [3] 9.27 km (4:55 / km) +252m 4:19 / km
ahr:149 max:172 slept:8.0 shoes: Mizuno Wave Rider 17-Green
Tomies Wood (anti-clockwise)
Legs not feeling fantastic today, and soreness in lower left calf afterwards, above the achilles though. Prescribing myself foam rolling later. Overall they were tired too so run felt weird at times as sometimes it felt like I was going fast and other times slowly. Avg pace is alright for this run considering the climb though.
Met a woman running against me as I neared the top of the hill. Reckon it took me around 10 minutes to get up the hill. I certainly wasn't pushing it though, but maintaining a steady pace. Got a bit of a stitch after crossing the river, it was only an hour since breakfast which included a big bowl of porridge. Started to not worry too much about eating before training runs like this, better to run than worry about sufficient time between eating and running.
Descent was nice, surface was probably better doing it this way for descending. Went down to O'Sullivan's Cascade as I do find it a nice spot and a much better spectacle than Torc Waterfall, but that's my opinion. Steps down to it were slippy so took my time. Then coming back up I didn't realise that the steps were so high, or else I as just tired.
Met a deer on the road back. Forest along this road does like nice. Was reminiscing on an offroad run here at least 10 years ago with Magic and a few more. I remember finding that day tough to keep up. Must go messing around here again.
Chilly start to the morning but not too bad running. Plenty of snow on the mountains but high.
My activity log for the week has a nice mix of colours.
