Got down to Jells Park yesterday morning for a hill session, but due to 8 hours of straight rain the day before, the recovery loop was completely flooded so we had to find a different hill.
This one was between 550 and 600m long, on asphalt and not as steep. Started to pour down about 2 reps in and the path up the hill became the river bed for the Yarra number 2. Genuinely spent more time navigating the oncoming current than pushing myself, but somehow got it done. Planned on only doing 6, but finished and felt like I could do more, so shot off for one more rep and glad I did.
Somehow my shoelace came undone 3 times during the session which was mildly infuriating and which numb fingers due to the downpour, tying them back up was way too difficult.
1:54, 1:55, 1:57, 1:57, 1:59, 1:58, 1:56
Okay session, not really able to tell how I went but it seemed more threshold based as the conditions made it hard to run fast. Reckon it would be great workout if the rain held off. Weather stayed sour all day so went to Runners World to get some new spikes as mine are in a sorry state. I think they're a few years old but I rate the retro spikes. Got them really cheap for that reason too as the 2016 equivalent were $200! For real though, all spikes these days are a bit of paper strapped to a plastic sole, sick joke.
