Monday morning run - about as entertaining as yesterday's season opening Australian F1 Grand Prix

Monday morning - the worst time of the week, as it is the longest time possible to the forthcoming weekend. This is also compounded by backing up from yesterday's long run and a solid session on Saturday. Nevertheless, the goal on Monday is to finish the run feeling better than when I started. In other words, it's purely a recovery run. I have learnt the hard way over the past few years as to how 'easy' the recovery run should be. In fact, to use the term 'run' is a massive overstatement. 60 minutes of shuffling, rarely breaking sub-5 minute km's, seems to work wonders in terms of promoting recovery from the weekend's hard work, leaving me ready to attack the track on Tuesday morning for some hard 1000m intervals. It's a day where you have to leave your ego behind and simply trot - not worrying when an elderly gentlemen runs past and drops you whilst running along a beautiful sunrise at Manly Beach. As the title suggests, a pretty boring run, but nonetheless an important session from a recovery perspective.
