Tuesday track - 5 x 1200m (off 400m jog) (am) + 8km recovery (pm)

Didn't actually do this at the track, as was written on the program. Not going to forgo the beachfront, especially in 28 degree heat. It was bloody warm out there, can only imagine how brutal it would have been at Narrabeen! New session today, so no prior expectations. I knew that it would be tougher than the similar version with 3 minutes rest, although respecting the fact that the rest period would be tougher. And of course, the heat was another factor to consider. I simply decided to run within myself. Perhaps went out slightly too hard, really starting to feel the pain by the third rep. The fifth and final was ugly, slowing down in typical Lewis fashion. Splits were 3:41, 3:40, 3:44, 3:47 and 3:58. Just happy to get it done to be honest, and probably felt better than Saturday. Long cooldown bringin up 17km. Time to jump into the ocean!

Easy 8km before lunch, 34 degree heat! 4:35's at 121 beats per minutes.
