Today's Journal
It was back into training today...after momentary lapse of reason. A good solid session of core control, integrating a number of gym ball exercise into this program now...a bit of variation. A little more focus on the obliques.

This afternoon I did the stride session, the first of this type of session I have been able to complete. I really enjoyed the session and followed it exactly as detailed.

Session Evaluation: Felt good in both sessions, however, at the end stages of the Hill strides I felt a little niggle in the right thigh. With stretching and a bit of ice it should be fine. Think it may of been caused buy the way/course I was running...there was a sharp bend to the left at about half way and also may have been caused by the sudden change of direction at the completion of the 150m. But a worthwhile session and aerobically felt good. Would like to get hold some tips on reducing heart rates throughout the session.
