Running 40:49 [2]
shoes: Asics Nimbus
First run with new shoes! Finally, really needed them as I've been running with trail shoes on pavement which is no good. Just a standard run otherwise.
Shoes feel fine, they're Asics Nimbuses, which I don't think I've had before. Forefoot was numb about 30 min in, but this happens whenever I get new shoes- need to be broken in!!

Running warm up/down 27:31 [3]
Warm up and down before and after intervals. Felt ok, still a bit sore from squash playing.
Running intervals 16:00 [5]
4 x (3 min on, 30 sec off, 1 min on, 2 min off)
Working on running fast on the flats now. Felt ok, but need to do more real speed I think... Plus more hurdles!!! Breathing wasn't quite so bad today, so that's good. Pollen leaving?

Running 40:53 [1]
Easy run. Think I do have allergies, also hard to breathe, even without intervals. Hopefully it's that and not a cold, although have had a headache most of the day...

Running 31:21 [1]
Easyish run pace, some drills to loosen up before/after.
Running tempo 14:00 [4]
2 x 7 minutes
Not worlds toughest tempo, but wanted to do something about the same length as 2k steeple will be (shooting for under 7:30). Also didn't want to freak out the calf again, because I think (hope!) it's alright now... If calf is still ok on Sat, will do quicker intervals.
I was way surprised, but I was having some issues breathing- hopefully just seasonal allergies? Totally possible this time of year. Might have to start taking my inhaler- acutally, this happened in edinburgh last weekend too, now that I think about it. Bet it's just that flowers are now out and about!!

Field Sports (Squash) 30:00 [1]
Squash! Very fun! I like it much more than other racket sports- it's much more intense. We'll see how sore I get from it...

Running 26:47 [1]
Blob. Left calf is real tight again. So I was sensible and didn't do a long, hilly run or intervals and just went for a wimpy morning jog around Christ Church meadow. Which is gorgeous by the way. Haven't been doing many runs along rivers as I've been trying to get hills in, but water is pretty.
Will take tomorrow off if calf isn't 100%. Don't want this to linger!

Running 41:39 [2]
Usual pre-circuits run out to Marston, but skipped the hill today, going back to work to pick up stuff as my bike is in the shop (lightly hit by a car last week, but hard enough to bend up my back wheel). Felt ok, but quads are that special type of you-tried-to-run-fast-down-hills sore, and calves felt a bit tight.
Strength 42:00 [1]
Outdoor circuits! In uni parks as New college grounds are still closed. =(
People back as it's 0th week again! Good stuff. 100-80 at the end felt a bit easier than last week, although still doing wuss-ups instead of press-ups. Whatever, I have no arms.
