Sunday - 30km

A massive drop in temperature from yesterday, a solid westerly wind making it tough running conditions - especially upon return. I could definitely feel yesterday’s hills in my legs this morning, so expectations weren’t high for anything special (other than running 30 km). The heart rate monitor was frustrating for the first 10 km or so, so I just ignored it from there onwards (it turns out it was pretty reliable from then on). As mentioned earlier, turning around was brutal - essentially a headwind for the final 13 km. Got home in 2:06:41 holding 4:13’s, almost a minute and a half quicker than last week (not that it matters). Happy to get through my first proper week of speedwork, and looking forward to doing it all again with some further progressions planned.
