Saturday session - 20 x 210m hill reps (Mt. Steele) on a 2 minute cycle (am) + 8km recovery (pm)

This hurt more than last time. Second go at this session, and it was brutal. I don't know whether it was the fact that I have run 4 successive weeks of 150km, whether it was hotter, or the fact that the marker was 10m further back this time (which adds up over 20 reps)! Nevertheless, the goal with this session is simply to get through the 20 reps. It's nice in a way that the pressure is off in regards to not having tho hit specific paces, splits, times, etc. Simply put your head down and grind away. Great turn out today, and even better to see Cam Page back (finally). Got a 4.5km warm-up and cool-down in for around 17.5km all up. Might jump into the ocean now (it's been a while)!

8km easy this afternoon. Felt surprisingly really good, and actually had to consciously slow down numerous times throughout. Walking prior to this was an effort following the hills this morning. Pace and heart rate averaging 4:34 min/km and 121 beats per minute respectively.
