Wondered why I got a mention in here when my training currently consists of sitting on arse due to hamstring woes.
Impressive solo 5k @Sowler 
would definitely break something if I tried to run that fast

Walked dog.
Walked home.
Walked to pool.
Crap. Forgot my Garmin.
If I donāt record it āproperlyā does it count?
Apple Watch is garbage.
The pub across the road looks a far nicer place to wait for my wife than a urine infested pool.
Wife says; GET IN THE POOL 
15 x 100m ranging from 1:30-1:45/100m at various efforts and toy levels.
Decent session 
Time for a swift pint at that pub now

10km on the rower followed by 10mins on the skierg both at a moderate Pace/HR.
Struggling to maintain focus on longer UT2 rowing workouts resulting in inconsistent splits and stroke rate.

Took out some work related frustration on a lunch time 5k. Hit a new PB of 22:50 which Iām chuffed with as it was a pretty stiff wind today, but seem to have decimated my shins in the process. Must have been slamming my heels even harder than usual or disintegrating into āPhoebe from Friendsā style running form. Now very sore and grumpy. Few days with my feet up eating advent calendar chocolate I think, or might just add in an extra session in the pool over the weekend.

I really, really, really, really donāt want to run. Again.
Up for what felt like the whole night with kids. So tired and hugely low on motivation.
But a group session tonight that Iām forcing myself out for.
Yoga and then tea and crisps in the warm is kuxh more appealing. But sometimes you just gotta kick your own ass out (if you can)

Oh and boy am I glad I got out. As soon as my feet hit the ground with one of my best mates at my side, on a hill I know waaay too intimately. Itās like muscle memory just took over and I was back in my happy place.
I think I was just feeling low from weather, work, kids being ill etc. That was the tonic I needed. Luckily I have a mate who always manages to press the right buttons to get me back on it.
Turned out that I was much stronger than expected as well, and the weather wasnāt too bad. Stripped all my layers off after 1 rep, so was just in shorts and long sleeved base layer.
7 x reps of a favourite local hill for a vk. Building through out the reps as well.

15 x 100m off 1:45 1:32/100m ave 
First one in 1:24, felt easy. Game on tampon.
Second in 1:26, still easy.
Third in 1:33. Bolloxed.
Fourth I lost count and did a 150m at 1:33 pace.
Did a 50 to get back on track in 40s.
Then between 1:30 and 1:36 for the next ten
Pacing and fitness is garbage.
I want my 400 back at 5:30 by April, too

Yes.
True Story Broā:
Two people in the fast Lane swimming up and down.
Not clockwise.
I get in, itās all okay for about 25m, untilā¦
Fast, breaststroke guy swims into āWhat the F stroke is that?ā Guy and points at the medium lane. WTFSIT Guy doesnāt move lanes.
I start swimming. And manage a few 100s until Breaststroke guy catches me up and passes me 
I lose count as Iām amazed how far he puts into me and his turn off the wall and heās caught me in the opposite direction before Iām even flipping
