A HTFU interval session. Didn't feel like it, but forced myself to make the effort. After a 18 min w/up, did 4 x 3min hard/ 1 min easy. Hoped to stick at around 3.50-4.00 min/km for the intervals and kind of managed. Very weak on the "hills" and really felt like I was struggling to maintain any form or speed giong up the relatively mild slopes. Then had an odd episode with the hr where i was just jogging along and my heart rate just wouldn't come down unless I syopped and walked - kept up at around 170-180 even though I was not doing anything. Really eminded me of my heart arrhythmia problems that I thought had disappeared, even though I wasn't as distressed as I had been in teh past episodes, it was still quite alarming that the hr jiust wouldn't come down with gentle jogging. So decided to see what would happen if I cranked it up and so did 2 x 1 min hard / 1 min easy heading home. First one was very high hr, but the second was much more reasonable and as expected - at much teh same pace. So who knows.
