Short reps and recovery

Still suffering a bit after Tuesday's session so I decided to try the same thing again, 20x80m with 1m turnaround, except this time in the industrial estate across the road. There's not much of a hill at all (at least not on the straight section I was using) but I had to deal with a stiff headwind on the odd-numbered reps and a corresponding tailwind on the even-numbered ones so it probably worked out the same. It was really tough on specific muscles. I suppose once I get used to this session I can start increasing the distance and the 1m turnaround should still be fine. Later on I went out again for a moderately-paced 2.5 miles or so in the hope that I might not be too incapacitated tomorrow.
