Easy miles at 8:45 pace (though felt more like 7:45!) Just tried to keep it easy feeling.... maybe its the heat/humidity?

Anyway, ran around Iron Cove in Balmain, Sydney... just gorgeous. Pics next time.

7 miles around 8:45 pace (felt tough, though I think its the heat - about 80 degrees with 60-70% humidity). Plus 8 x 10 second hill sprints, which felt lovely and fast (even if they werent!)

Some rando strength routine, involving some squat jumps, romanian split squats (first time - these are hard!), renegade rows, pushups, single leg squats and side lunges

This was sort of an impromptu workout. I had in mind doing 2 x 2 miles at HM pace at some point... just waiting to feel good and for a morning where I went out early enough for it to be cool. I was not really serious about doing it, as I hadn't eaten anything beforehand (which I can do for easy runs, but nothing hard!)

Ended up doing

2 miles easy, 1 x 2 miles (6:42, 6:47) then 1 mile easy, 1 mile at 6:54, 2.5 miles easy

Really wanted to go that fourth mile at HM pace, but I wasn't feeling it, and I have no inclination to push my body more than it wants to go right now. It was getting hot, I was tired and unfueled, so I decided to try a proper LT workout next week. I was, however, pleased with how "easy" my first set felt.
