Steady run around the Bois. Took a while to get going - feeling very stiff and sore in the legs still. Left achilles still feeling a bit dodgy and spent some time icing and stretching after the run. Hope it holds up for the Scottish event next weekend.

First swim in ages. Felt surprisingly good and enjoyed the experience. Have certainly not missed the French approach to pools and pool etiquette (or lack thereof).

Will take it easy for a couple of days to give my legs a chance to recover, esp the left achilles.

Interval training in the Bois. Not as hot as Tuesday, but still humid. not a bad session, but feeling quite a few niggles on my left side - toe, arch, groin, knee, and now a sore achilles. I need a left side overhaul. Session had shor intervals with good rest between efforts. First was 5 x "hill" sprints (around 52-55 secs up a slope rather than a real hill) with a jog down after each., followed by 4 x 2 min H/1 min E. The achilles is a bit of a worry.

Took it easy. Everything a it sore after yesterday.

Very hot day for a lunchtime run - around 30 deg. Struggled not so much from the heat, but more from feeling sore and stiff in the legs from the weekend's exercise. Really need a new bike asap so i can get some cross-training in. Dranki a lot of water afterwards to try and re-hydrate. Difficult to do at work - need to go pee all the time!

taking it easy after weekend's running.
