Parkrun. Wasn't feeling too tip top in the morning, so decided to start off steady. Couldn't avoid winding it up slightly as I started to pass people. Great turn out and day for it. Impressive runs from Jayne and a diligently paced Clare.

Lunch time session Kez.
Neither of us were wedded to a particular plan so we decided on hills in Royal Park. We were randomly joined by an Swedish orienteer, living in Switzerland, who had just finished doing an old sprint o-interval training session around the Melbourne campus. He was full of energy and enthusiasm and by the sounds of it had a great holiday (he was in Oz for the world cups and going home tomorrow).
Maybe some of the enthusiasm rubbed off because I felt pleasantly solid through the reps.

S+C (Pilates + Squats) 1:10 [1]
1 hour pilates class then some squats afterwards. Not done pilates for about 6 months and forgot how hard it was. Clear imbalances in terms of strength between left and right part of body. It will be good to get into the routine of doing this for at least the next 6 weeks or so.

Running 48:01 6.98 mi (6:53 / mi) +13m 6:50 / mi
ahr:135 max:162
I have a confession. I have never knowingly done a progression run. And I thought Tuesday was as good as any other time to have a crack. Struggled a bit to work out how fast to go, with an aim of getting faster every 5 minutes for 30 minutes.
Things were looking great for 20 minutes, but the 5th section really took me to the edge (HR wise went from a cruisey(ish) 155 to 163) and was not able to move it up again. Oh well. Learnt something and I will come back to this in the future.
I started about 5.55 pace and worked down to 5.39.

Yes, I've changed. No, I haven't got any flexibility.
