Training Log Archive: tinytoes

Usual pre "go" feelings but was compounded by very cold conditions, though very still and clear. Elected to wear tights, long sleeve top and buff. Tights are low cut and so I felt definitely insecure when running... so that feeble excuse was enough for me. I think I can get away with shorts and long sleeve top in future as it can't be any colder that this surely? Ran 5 of the 6 usual stretches and for a little longer so mildly happy with that. Marc was going well today and should be pleased with his progress. I made it a (late) mission to get in front of someone who is admittedly recovering from a stress fracture but who starts 10-15 minutes early so as not to hold up proceedings. She can thrash me on any normal day but starting that early gets her over the line in pretty good time.:-(( and usually in front of me. Not competitive, just fairness.

Surprised to be able to keep up with Stu in the first run/intervals section. I'm thinking he was hampered by his long legs in the turn arounds. Monitored HR so went easier on 2nd set, but back on with Stu for set 3, eased off for 4 and back for 5, but Stu elected for the burpee variation and I for the stride.

Revealed (again) the bushrock retaining wall out front.

Wednesday might well be called hump day. Tuesday was certainly grunt day.

I was in a world of pain and tomorrow isn't going to be fun. Cath, whose classes I did on line during COVID lockdown and whom I really admire, took Aimee's class tonight. Cath didn't stop at all. Bands from midway through warm up to end. Tough going but very rewarding.

Yes it was cold; yes it was early; yes it was worth it.
