First session back this morning with the prime objective to simply run on feel. This was made easier by the fact that my GPS ran out of battery whilst warming up. Matt Hudson & Harry Summers had similar intentions, the former coming off his first (impressive) half, the latter off a sub-29 minute 10km race. Warren Williams stepped up and filled in for Sean, doing a great job as usual. The course itself was apparently long, with everyone else's charged GPS's reading well over 2km. Ended up running with Matt (when he wasn't pushing too fast) and Tom Middleton, who is getting faster each week. Times were fine with 6:30, 6:25, 6:36. Decided to call it quits after the third rep, as I had gone into the red zone at this point. Felt guilty, so ended up jumping in with Matt and Tom on the second lap of the fourth rep, running it I'm around 3:10. Cooled down for another lap of the white fence with Harry for around 17km all up. A bit of a shock to the system, but just what I needed. Will aim to get back into normal training this week, simply get the sessions done without too high expectations for specific paces for the workouts.
8km easy this afternoon. 4:22 min/km pace, 130 average heart rate. Faster than usual, but effort-wise it felt fine.
