Monday night tempo

Another of our increasingly routine Monday nights, where EliseS goes and does Run Club while I pound around the Bay Run.

I'd actually gotten up early and had a 6am session with the Horned one, an opportune visit with angry hammies, both of which got their fair share of acupuncture needles.

A cool and breezy night out there which saw the Skins make their debut run. Set off just after 6:40 and worked through the 9k Dog Run just worked on solid form and turnover, and then pushed harder for the 7k of the Bay Run. Bit of a headwind from 1k through to 3k of the CR 5k course, but not so bad.

Garmin read 16.29km, and after some surgery in Sport Tracks, I came up with 16.14, with a few areas it could be improved with better Google Earth imagery. Bah, too hard. Let's call it 16.2 in 1:07:32. Pleasing hit out, felt strong. Hamstrings were a non-factor. Skins felt great, basically forgot I was wearing them, which is exactly what you want. Might have to invest in a second pair - they're definitely a step up from regular running tights.
