Thursday - (AM) road run 8.5km @4.57
Saturday - upper body weights session

Hit physio last week and calf is cooked, well was. Its had a week off the running and feel pretty good now. Maybe a test mid week. Need to get the training back underway
Week gone was mainly gym work.
Monday - (AM) Gym upper body

Thursday - (PM) gym easy bike ride and light legs
Friday (AM) - Gym upper body
Sunday - (AM) 5km walk, (PM) 23km local spin on the mountain bike -
Still taking things easy but think I could be through it and may have been due to needing new shoes as looking back, I didnt have the same pain during the trails runs and my road shoes had just clicked over 700kms. New shoes acquired....
Week gone:
Tuesday - (AM) easy jog 4.7km @ 5.33min/km. Not great.
Thursday - (AM) first run in new shoes 6.7km @ 4..57min/km. Felt OK and surprisingly a fair bit faster for minimal effort
Friday (PM) - Golf
Saturday - (AM) 10km cruise on the bike with fam, (PM) 2km walk & 9 holes of golf
Sunday- (AM) 14km trail run 440m elevation. Slow as hell at 6.31min/km and really struggled on the hills. Wasnt well fueled at all (banana and a coffee) but hill fitness is clearly lacking. (PM) 12km on the bike to turn the legs over, and 9 holes of golf. -
Think leg sorted. Had more physio mid week working on calf and hammie. Will try for 3 runs this week as the next step. Week gone:
Monday (AM) 5km walk with B
Tues (AM) CBD jog/run/jog. Short effort 6.4km which averaged @ 4.31min/km, but was actually 3km 4.50, 4.40, 4.30 working up to a target of 4min flat working km, then another 3km cruising at 4.30. Felt really good in the new shoes.

Thanks - yeah was lowest of the day for the division. Had 8 looks at birdie and got 1 so could have been much better. Also 4 putted the same par 5 twice after getting on for two. Pretty frustrating!

Decent week but feet are giving me a bit of grief. Suddenly getting blisters in shoes that have been working just fine for me and shouldnt be shot yet. Perhaps feet have been swelling in the heat?

Sun (PM) - did a lactic threshold test on the local trail. Prob not the ideal place for it as pace would be all over the place but the effort and HR was there. Did 10mins RPE 2-4, 10mins RPE 5-6, then the real work with 30mins at RPE 7-10, 5mins walk to cool down. Ended up 10.2km @ 5.16min/km. 303m elevation. Hopefully get some decent insights out of it.Will prob take it a bit easier this week and give the feet some rest
