Back after a rubbish cold

My useless body rewarded last Thursday's W5 R3 with a weekend of fevers, fatigue and general rubbishness. Back out this morning. After all the warnings I was expecting today's intervals to be pretty hellish but was pleasantly surprised. Pretty slow but much easier than expected. A few weeks ago a 5 min run was out of reach but now I know I have 20 mins in my legs 5/8/5 was a breeze. Let's hope the rest of the week goes as well 😃
