Thursday - 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 (off 1 minute) (deep water running) + 30 minutes easy run

A very welcome return to what felt like spring this morning! A balmy 12 degrees (even the water felt slightly warmer) and not a breath of wind, I was treated to ‘world record conditions’ out in Manly Cove this morning. It was a bit disheartening initially having gone from running for 90 minutes yesterday back into the water this morning, but the reasoning is to simply maintain some intensity while I ease my way back onto the land. Other than a bit a soreness post-yesterday, I was otherwise pretty good. Got through the pyramid set unscathed, feeling good. Followed it up with another 30 minute easy run. Had to really back off the pace towards the end to keep the heart rate low - it certainly felt easy and slow. Rest day tomorrow before starting all over again on Saturday.
