Picking it up

6 x 4 minutes run, 2 minutes walk and it was great! Felt smooth and a but fitter than usual with no pain from the back. Covered around 6km in 34 mins so I'm a happy man. 

2 things I learned today. Tchami is a God and the new Game of Thrones trailer is something special. 

Slowly

Massage was characteristically painful last night but loosened me up a bit. This morning hopped on the bike with Mahoney for 48km in 1:40 or so. Great ride, despite the abundance of detours that were in place because of a triathlon going on.

Then did some core by myself before going to the new Glenhuntly strength and conditioning class with JB, Will and Sam in an attempt to pick up more glute strength. I'm definitely pretty weak so that's a spot for major improvement. I'll run tomorrow, make the step up to 4 minutes run.

Alright

Took yesterday off as I was knackered and the calves were just as tightly strung as guitar strings. This morning, there was not much change.

Went out for a run though stepping it up to 3 minutes run, 2 minutes walk. Felt pretty good but struggled on the ride afterwards doing only 22km. Decided I might be pushing a bit hard on all the rides so thought I may try to take it easy on run days, but to for it a bit more on the others. 

Back is feeling good but my legs are unbelievably tight. So booked a sports massage for tomorrow night. I reckon this on will be the most painful I've ever had, but I'm looking forward to feeling looser. 

Sandwiches

Woke up earlier this morning and got out for one of those walk runs. Did 2:30 minutes run with 2 minutes walk in between. Felt loads better than the other day but I think the watch was having a go as it reckon I was hitting 3:25s when I was probably lurking closer to 4:15s. 

Then had some mates over for lunch which was good, before getting on the bike for 30km in 1:03 again. Pretty windy, but jumped on the back of some demons who overtook me up a hill. That helped me a lot. Tired now after that double sesh.

Everyone's injured

30km this morning in 1:03. It was pretty tough, although the wind was pretty generous. 

Went to watch running club tonight so I could feel partly involved and turns out everyone has been in the wars. Will has a stressy in his foot and is just coming back with me. Sam has been having foot and hip issues. Beau has hamstring issues, so we're all hoping for winter season wonders these days. JB is alright though and broke 2 mins for 800 on the weekend. 

On the rise

Well 2016 hasn't had a great start. But we're coming back. 

This morning, got out for 2 minutes run, 2 minute walk 6 times and that went well. Didn't feel the back, but definitely felt the fitness struggling. 

Then went for 36km on the bike which wasn't quick but nice and easy. Feeling much better today. The build back will take a while, but I'm just glad to be back running. 

Still

Yesterday, went for a 16km ride and regretted it as I was way too coughy afterwards. 

Nothing today, but going for a water run tomorrow. I'm so excited to get back training and get fit again. I'm really feeling gross these days. 

Back is better I reckon.
