I was surprising fresh after that run. The legs were pretty fresh yesterday and the rest day was a wiser option to manage "the comeback" effectively. no niggles, a bit of the usual aching but have noted already over last few weeks the legs are just begining to recover a little quicker each time.
This morning it was an early start for the 3x2 session! I was up and out by 05:15 into the glorious countryside and took the 2km warm up nice and steady to the Nature reserve with the 2 km loop for this session. It was pretty flat, trail running. The aim was run the first two intervals at about 05:30min/km pace and see what was left for the last one.
Here is the data:

Int 1: peak 137, Ave pace 05:26
Rec: 114
Int 2: Peak 139, Ave pace 05:26
Rec: 126
Int 3: Peak 148, Ave pace 05:07
Rec: 122
Average Interval pace: 5:19.4/km
HR jumped up to 155/156 on the jog home.
Average for session was 134.
Felt fully in control and didn't push or try to do anything silly. Pretty much run to the plan and the last interval wasn't too much stress on the legs but they were feeling it on the warm down on the way home. I did not over exert myself and really enjoyed the session as a result.
On a side note: Resting HR this morning was 48bpm. I haven't weighed myself or taken any Body fat numbers yet. Will do so over weekend.
