"Salud"

Sat 15 X 400m - 100m jog recovery (paused) 18;07
Sun 21.3KM 1;29;59  4;13 K's

Saturday headed to Nudgee late afternoon for 15 X 400m 100m jog recovery. Early on it was pretty windy but later the wind died down and I only had to cope with the warmth. Wasn't feeling great but worked hard at getting this session done. Trying to get used to running on the track again. Will step up to two track sessions when it gets light enough to complete a session before work in the mornings which will probably be another month or two.
My pace was low 70's about 3min K pace. My heart rate steadily climbing to max at 174bpm on the last interval.
The Garmin clocked me at 18;07 for the 6000m (with the recovery paused).
On Sunday I went out on a very warm afternoon for a lazy long run 21.3KM (2 X roo+lake). The legs were feeling the track work but coped OK.
Shouldn't be too long before the track season is with us and I will hope to run 1500/3000 and 50000 and maybe a 10000 if the body keeps it together - I have a number of niggles.

Hi Peter, Thanks; the PF is lurking in the background but never getting painful enough to not run.
I have faint concerns that my left foot has the very earliest signs of PF. I will be extra vigilant and ice and stretch like it is part of my routine.
