Today's workouts bring this to mind.
Yesterday - nice and early before the Big Day Out. 7.62 kms in just over 30 minutes, rolling through the Newport Lakes. This put me in a great frame of mind, culminating in a terrific day at the Big Day Out.
Today - yuk. Whether it was residual from yesterday, the heat, the hour I spent on the Tennis Court acting as ballboy for some friends and rediscovering the flat forehand of my youth, most likely a combination of all of them, and perhaps the fear of being woken from my 5 1/2 week mental slumber also, today's efforts didn't go any good.
AM - treadmill (prob. too late in the morning). 5 x 800 @ 18.2 - 18.4 km/h (3:15-3:18 pace) with a gentle rolling 200m recovery + w/u & c/d of 2km each. Just terrible. Heart rate only peaked at 168, but the effort didn't feel right, and I actually wanted to 8 reps but cut things short @ 5.
PM - treadmill. 4 x 500 @ 19.2 km/h with a rolling 250m recovery @ 10 km/h. Again, the goal was to get through 6 after pulling up on the morning one earlier than planned, and still couldn't get through that. HR peaked @ 165, which doesn't imply much, but if it doesn't feel right, what can you do? A 2K warm up + a walking cooldown of 1km.
