Had to keep slowing myself down. Too much energy, probably down to keeping run to a minimum previous day?

6 x 1km intervals

Average Rep pace was 4:05min/km
Not quite as fast as I targeted again but felt a lot more consistent. Again, jogged through the 60 second rest periods. I was DONE after this session! Legs needed plenty of stretching yesterday evening after this! They are ok again this morning so recovering quicker.

Despite the two speed work session so far working out about 5 seconds slower than intended, I am very happy with the key phase of the cycle. I may have lost a lb or two as well through this cycle and the base week before hand.

I have also started back doing some core and upper body strength building excercises. The hand still hurts to do press ups but knuckle ones are ok!
