I did my speed session yesterday afternoon with Anja - 15 minute warmup jog, then 6 repeats of 1 min at 80% effort, and 45 seconds recovery, then a 15 minute cooldown jog. However, the 5th fast bit saw my right calf quite sore, so I stopped and didn’t do the 6th rep, and had a 15 minute cooldown walk. Some ice and compression when I got home, and it’s right as rain today. I think it’s just a bit of overuse - Saturday was a big run, 100kg leg presses with Anja then the trail run on Tuesday night - probably was a bit of an ask to back up with a speed session the next afternoon. I’ve got a rest day today and I’ll see how the leg goes, may have another one tomorrow if needed.

 The book I got for Hubby was Extreme Running, it lists a lot of ultras around the world, and has some pretty amazing pictures. He liked it very much, but my nice dinner was a bit less successful, hehe. The carrots were a bit overdone, the asparagus was just okay, and the mashed potatoes were a bit lumpy, but the herbed red emperor fillets were dee-licious!! One out of four. Cooking has never been my forte, and I guess not much has changed there.

The kidlets will be doing some schoolwork this morning then I’m hoping to head over to Roseanne’s to use her washing machine. Ours has just died, and there’s lots of sweaty running gear to wash.
