    Long neglected hill session.
    First rep was the usual distance, from mast to top of hill. Second rep was the same, but I was swimming up the last section. Third rep I shortened the distance so I could sprint the whole way. Fourth rep, more swimming. Shortened the distance again, so only about twenty seconds of sprinting, and stayed at that for another 15/20 minutes

    Any other good spots for hill repeats down there? How many of those repeats would you do as a session?

    Just wondering why you'd do hill repeats the day after a race? Even if the race didn't go according to expectations, it was still a race and you'd be recruiting some of the same muscles on the hill repeats. Constructive hurtin', not destructive hurtin'!

    Self flagellation :-) but of all the harder runs I could have done, I think that was the easiest. And I want to get back in the habit of doing these every weekend

    I've no Garmin record, so this training log has to be an actual training log :)
    And I don't have Krusty's talent (or energy) for finding interesting things to say about every run

    You could count the kerbs that you step off and hop up on for your commute and report back :pac: I think I counted 80 kerbs on my 12km commute when I lived in Dublin!

    no run Friday - overslept in the morning and work thing in the evening

    This morning about 80 minutes. Up to Tymon and did a makey-uppy hill session for about 30 minutes, then off home as the parkrun started. The session was: start at base of hill and run up, walk down 2/3 of way, run up, walk down 1/3, run up... Long, medium, short, medium, long, medium, short etc Probably a complete waste of time :rolleyes: Will do a regular session next Saturday, if there's anything left of me after Tuesday...

    Apparently sex is good for sporting performance (they don't specify that it has to be sex with someone else)
    We're all about performance :)

    very slow 50 minutes in to work this morning

    first club session in ... .... ... 18 months??? :eek::o can it really be that long?
    10x400 with 95 seconds? recovery. Didn't time the intervals, probably about 80 seconds based on what some of the other guys did. Hurt less than I was expecting, but that's probably partly me not being able to push it enough. Good to be back...
