Tuesday pain (10 minute effort, 5 minute jog, 8 x 60 sec/60 sec on/off) (am) + 8km recovery (pm)

This really hurt this morning. Motivation was at a monthly low, and just feeling slightly flat over the past few days.mreally contemplated pulling the pin - both before the session and during the 10 minute effort. As always though, very glad I persisted through the motions. Jogged up to North Head to start the session. A mild-to-moderate southerly made the first part of the 10 minute effort harder than last time, but managed to hang in there - finishing a mere 10m shorter than last time (3.21km vs. 3.22km). However, the 1 minute efforts were more encouraging this time around with the following splits; 3:01, 2:53, 2:59, 2:52, 3:02, 2:54, 3:05 and 2:53 min/km pace; averaging 2:57 min/km pace (vs. 2:59 min/km pace last time). No prizes for guessing which efforts were run with the headwind! Cool-down back home for 17km all up. Really feel smashed up now! Time for a jump into the ocean - it's been a while!

That was the busiest I have ever seen it out there this afternoon. Absolute madness trying to manoeuvre my way through! Managed, but some ver close calls. 4:33's. Heart rate monitor played up yet again!
