shoulda been easy, but...

I decided to do it tough, or reasonably tough anyway...

Warm up run to, and cool down from, the gym. At the gym, random incline mode on the treadmill for 3 x 2 km @ 7:15, 7:18 & 7:17. The break between the first two was about 40 odd seconds, as the plan was a threshold run of about 6-8kms dropping the speed every km but it didn't feel right, so I turned into repeats. There was 15 minutes between 2nd & 3rd repeats, as I simply felt knackered but went to do some weights/abdominal work before deciding I needed to a 3rd hitout.

Total running 12.5kms, 6 of those with effort. Today was a struggle, but perhaps the 10 x 250 I did last night might have taken more out of the legs than I'd hoped.

Beer brewing and trivia night with bro & sis-in-law tonight, Jen will probably belt me for being too competitive. Having said that, if we win, some may claim it was rigged as Anna (sis-in-law) is running the show.
