Gettin' cooler

Talk about a cool wind blowing in - the temperature difference between now and a fortnight ago is unbelievable. Mentally associating the new Kensington training venue with being cold!

Session tonight was 8 x 400, with 45 seconds recovery. In practice, it was probably closer to 30. Times went 75, 74, 75, 76, 76, 79, 81, 79. Felt after the fourth rep I might have gone out a bit hard, and it showed in the last three. Wheels were off a bit on the seventh rep, but managed to dig one out for third.

Foot and hip seemed improved. Actually, the foot was fine, although a little angry in spikes, and the iliacus issue seemed more like a localised hip issue. The massage made a big difference, plus some acupuncture and manipulation from Martin Horne on Thursday morning. The manipulation helped - I felt stiff in the lower back after all the driving and it freed up a lot. As it always does.
