Return to intervals

After allowing myself 3 weeks off after Trailwalker it was time to get back to the training track, or in this case the training Tan.

It was hard, I felt like a fat slow old cow, my legs were filled with lead and my glutes hurt after last weekends hills, but I was expecting all this.

Tonight’s session was 4 by 1km with a 90 second recovery, this was done along The Tan from the pillars to Government House Drive so one leg would be on an incline and the other a decline, the times in brackets are from when I last did this session at the start of April this year.

1 - 4:29 (4:32) uphill
2 - 4:02 (4:08 ) downhill
3 - 4:27 (4:32) uphill
4 - 4:00 (4:07) downhill

So despite how hard it felt the times were better than 5 weeks ago

The hard work begins again, I have quite a bit of ground to make up.
