17 in the snow!

17M - double; recovery run & speed session
5M recovery run at ~6.30min/M with pack
12M speed (and recovery) incl 10x600m with 45s recovery

A couple a good snow facials today. Surprisingly un-cold somehow - I was much colder walking to Sainsbury's after dinner.

I kept my run this morning to just 5 and took it gently as I was planning my first trip to the track this evening. But the snow intervened and the track was shut. So I did a speed session along the river and around Battersea Park instead. I had my pack and no Garmin, so I did it as 10 sets of 2 mins (probably about 600m) with 45s jog recovery. I felt good. And pleasingly tired at the end. Just about enough energy to squeeze out five more steady miles.

Three hours later, my legs are taking on a healthy ache. It's my first short rep session in 6 or so weeks, so I expect to be a bit sore tomorrow. Hip was fine though. Nothing. And no other niggles.
