A hard day

20M - double; recovery and VO2 max
6M am recovery run with pack at ~6.55min/M
14M pm VO2 max incl 12x800m at 4.52-5.02min/M and 2M warm up and warm down

This was a solid day's training! I felt pretty perky after a light day yesterday, though my thigh was in a bit of a mood when walking around and during my recovery run. The tightness has settled somewhere in one of my adductors. Not very easy to foam roll.

My light run in the morning was nice and refreshing. Though I did miss coffee as a result of it.

I was a bit late home and didn't start my evening session until 7.30. This week I upped my reps from 10 to 12x800m. I was a bit hesitant on a couple, partly because I ran with my digital watch rather than GPS and struggled to know how hard to push. I was also a bit anxious I wouldn't last the full 12. I also wonder if my thigh tightness was reducing the freedom with which I push off. Anyway, it was a good session once I got stuck in. It hurt. Lots. Which must be good.
