Hi TheEd
We got settled back into the swing of things here very quickly on our return, other than the general weirdness of the Covid situation which has of course impacted everybody to some degree. We're back in London for a while now, but plan on moving to the Wiltshire / Gloucestershire area permanently next year, all things being well.
Re: the article, yes I'd like to do that, although I am a bit pushed for time at the moment refurbishing my property to go onto the market, so maybe around Xmas or new year depending on how things are going then. The project is stalled at the moment as the car remains in Wiltshire - sadly no space here in London for it!
In terms of running (almost forgot!), I managed 3 runs last week for the first time in a while...
13 Oct:
7.73km in 37:03
4:48/km
Av HR 164
15 Oct:
10.87km in 57:32
5:17/km
Av HR 154
Hilly route 156m elevation gain
17 Oct:
9.51km in 45:58
4:50/km
Av HR 158
Heart rate higher for the same perceived effort and estimated Vo2 max has come down from a peak of 59 in May, to 50. Quite a drop, but I feel confident I can turn it around again and get back where I was and beyond.
Aiming for another 3 runs again this week, with one longer one of about 12km and probably a tempo thrown in.
Would like to start a new cycle in November, although I'll probably drop back down to 4x2000 and 5x1000 out of caution for the first cycle.
Cheers
