2.5 miles steady, 2.5 miles moderate, paarlauf

Ran to work in 16:46, average pace 6:49/mile, and back home in 16:35, average pace 6:44/mile. On the way back, there was an unusually strong headwind on North Woodside Road. The club session in the evening was a paarlauf around the trail behind the pavilion, after a 0.61-mile warm-up, in temperatures just a few degrees above freezing. I put in a decent effort for the 20 minutes, after which we jogged round the trail on what was apparently a warm-down and assembled at the bottom of the hill to be told we would be doing shuttle runs. After 6 minutes of standing around in the cold, the session had been explained and the group had been separated into packs. I wasn't intending to take it seriously but still felt some hamstring problems from the start and bailed out after the second run. Distance for the paarlauf and warm-down was 3.29 miles, time 24:07. Shuttle runs came out at 0.15 miles.

HR zones (paarlauf): 1.1%, 30.5%, 48.1%, 18.2%, 2.0%
