Thursday - 16 km with middle 20’ at threshold

I was quite apprehensive going into this morning's session given my first gym session on Tuesday in a good solid 14 years. I met Darren up at North Head for a 6:15 am start (Tom was a no show). I felt strong, but sore. As usual, I let the heart rate monitor guide the effort. Considering the circumstances, it was slightly better than I had anticipated, getting out 5.84 km holding 3:26's at 170 bpm. Obviously not my quickest, but given the humidity and soreness in my legs, I am more than satisfied with that. Finished the remainder of the run to end up with 16 km all up. A solid session by Darren as well, especially so early on on his road back to recovery.
