1:27:2, 15K. Recovery run after Half Marathon, zero energy after tiring Sunday so rested Monday and despite a little fatigue in legs ran pretty well. Slippy trail also, could imagine a couple of mins faster with minimum effort. Still far away from all time record, but on a good day, who knows? HR 147/160. Activity/20232141

1:29:12, 15K. Medium paced effort, but unable to really get going, cannot expect a pb or even seasons best every time anyway.  Need to keep an eye on right calf, last two days some mild tension there, only starts halffway through the run.  Probably at the edge at the moment, may need to back off a little.

1:27:12, 15K. First run of the year of this route, fairly aggressive attempt although HR wouldn’t betray that.  Some way off the all time best pace, but not in that shape (yet?).  Trail running not as fluid as I would like, but road section not so bad, may be on the threshold of a performance increase. Should take easy tomorrow and only a few intervals on Thursday before 15K race.  HR 140/153.  Activity/17882607
