35/25

Suffered a bit this morning.

The rules of the game were: you run out in one direction for 35 minutes, then turn around and try to come back in 25. There is actually a marker at the turning point so the time out can vary a little. Its 8km in each direction.

I made it back in 28:26 with a very bad patch about half way back. Finished with very tight calves and heavy legs in general.

I was driving home thinking about it and realised that all of my sessions have been over within 40 minutes (15-20 min WU and then session). So to run for 35 minutes and then start the hard part was always going to be a shock to the system.

Still, a very good session for gaining some strength and next time should be a little quicker.

Will do an easy 20 minutes later today to keep the legs loose before tomorrows long run (1:40).

Off down to the bakery now for a coffee and a feed and a read of the papers.
