Did a hill / speed session last night - ’short triangles’ - fast across the bottom flat, fast up hill to the apex then steady jog recovery back to start. Just over 1 min in total x 15 + 1 for luck. 

Tonight had steady 3 mile jog with my boys then did a quick blast up hope hill and back on my own. About an hour in total.

Very wet but actually felt good tonight for the first time since the Fellsman 4 weeks ago.
