46:10/153

Stu and I ran up to Rochasson, starting at 12:30 pm. It was quite warm. When we got back, we bought lunch at a sandwich stand. The owner had a thermometer registering 37 C (99 F) on his counter.

We started off at a good warmup pace, then split up. I ran the hard uphill part at gradually increasing intensity, arriving at 96% of max. heart rate at the top of the shortcut and 95% in the parking area at Rochasson. It was easier than yesterday to let my heart rate drop back on the way down. We finished gently. My aim was to run downhill smoothly, so we took a different route down, turning up in Montbonnot rather than Meylan.

I've run many times without headache now. It seems that whatever the chiropractor did helped. It may also have been good to stop training, so I'm not pushing myself as much.

I push myself a bit cycling to and from work instead. Still have a long way to go before I can justify shaving my legs.
