Tues 6 x 400, Wed longer tempo (that was probably a bit too long)

Tuesday was pretty straightforward - warm up, 6 x 400, cool down, go home. Except I forgot my running shoes, so I had to scoot home, get them, and then back to the usual spot for the session.

Warm up was a little stiff to start but settled down quickly and I got through a bit over 3.8k in 4:28 pace, feeling a lot smoother over the last km or so.

After making sure I did the right things on Sunday evening after my long run (full stretch session, compression tights, roller on the quads and calves) I pulled a little stiff on Monday morning, but certainly not sore

After being 'trapped' at home most of the day with tradies working on the kitchen, I finally got out the door a after four and headed over to UQ for my 400m repeat session. The plan was to run 6, with the first two just setting up rhythm and form, working into it with the next two, and then pushing hard for the last two. I also took the rest out...

End of the month, and back to the training structure

Last training session for the month. I've on leave at the moment (got the tap on the shoulder about having too much leave outstanding!) so we're getting the kitchen, which the house was full of tradies this morning.

Got down to UQ around 3:30 or so. I park near the St Lucia ferry stop at Guyatt Park, this gives about 1.2k to the start of the...
