Too Cool For School

PCRG on Thursday was 2 x 1500m (1min SR) and then something when we finished that, depending how long it took. My times were a little sad, though consistent, both 6:15s. Then with barely 25 seconds rest it was off on an out to 'the white van' and back. The van was parked past the 500m mark, so that turned into a 1.x rep. Not sure exactly how far but it took me 4:28.

Not the best session time wise, I just can't seem to get moving in the cold ... though the actual temp was around 9, the apparent temp was just over 6. I had the long sleever on for the whole time. On a good note, however, the hammy seemed happy :-)

I was thinking of backing up for the same session Friday, with the idea of taking it slower, but told myself I was due a rest day. To be honest though I just couldn't face the thought of being out there in the cold again. Should've gone, it was perfect - around 14 degrees.

Hit the road about 5.15am this morning and put in a couple of kms on my own before joining in other early starters Mat, Sal and Andrew for half an hour. We then met up with the 6am people and headed out to New Farm and beyond.

I ended up running for just over 2h50m and doing about 32k. It was a real struggle. Unlike Thursday the hammy was annoying most of the way and it wasn't until the 28k mark that it started to feel alright.

Funny, its always much worse after a rest day. The best its felt in months was immediately after the Warwick Pentathrun. Hmmmm, and its supposed to be an overuse injury.
