Felt full of a head cold so planned to keep cardio to a minimum. Did easy effort 10 mins on rowing and 30 mins on weights machines including heel steps holding a kettlebell. Ended with 3-4 mins on a bike to cool down.

First little run /test after three weeks off with Achilles problem. Just 3x 1 minute easy jog with walking in between. Did it on Trans Pennine Trail at Rother Valley.

No heel pain but bottom of foot felt a little odd by the third rep. Onwards and upwards…

Distance: 0.54 mile

Time: 7:18
