A return to the tempo run

The work canter was cancelled yesterday. Admittedly that just means I lost the opportunity to roll out a lame excuse for not partaking. Work is hectic enough pre holiday without a sweaty slog around Westminster!
Back to the plan for this morning. Even shocked myself by being ready to run just 20 minutes after rolling out of bed. The training plan was simple; two ten minute tempo blocks, three five minute easy stints, in club sandwich formation (even the running part of the blog has some food references!!).
The Run
My first ten minute tempo averaged 5:22/km, the second around 5:31/km. Not quite the ideal pace, but lots of little abrupt hills & several smaller inclines that don't even appear to be hills until you analyse the route post run. Overall it's better than a straight easy run, much more gained from the short sharp intervals.
Even the canter is getting an upgrade. A long awaited return to Cambridge parkrun on Saturday as my Copenhagen pacer Sean is heading there for the day. Then a local 10k race on Sunday. A perfect weekend.
The Eat
No eat to discuss just yet, off to a German bar with the work guys tonight, I see bratwurst in my future......
