A good general aerobic workout

15M - double; recovery & general aerobic
6M am recovery at ~6.55min/M with pack
9M pm general aerobic at 6.25min/M with pack (and tennis racket!)

Just a gentle run to work this morning without my watch. Though I do struggle to know how fast I'm going. My evening run felt much easier, despite being definitely in the 'general aerobic' range. I may have been going faster than I thought this morning.

The evening general aerobic workout felt great. My legs had come back to me a bit after the last couple of days' exertions and I had no trouble coaxing a bit more speed out of them, feeling the pressure on each stride without it being tiring. I ran about half of it carrying a tennis racket by way of batton, which didn't seem to interrupt my rhythm either!

I would have done 10M but ran out of time before my tennis appointment in Battersea with Hugh. Didn't feel any ill effects during the tennis - though I did manage to lose as usual.

My thigh was almost back to normal today, even walking around in the morning. A bit more tennis ball massage and I'll be there. A little pre-race 6 miler tomorrow I think.
