Chilly one this morning, but felt (marginally) better than Thursday and yesterday. Looking forward to seeing the fitness level beginning to increase and the heart rate dropping. This route a short, but reasonably hilly run (400ft over 5km), so it’s good for strengthening the quads and elevating the heart
Gently back in to the yoga with 20 minutes of sun salutations. This photo was taken about an hour before I started and the sun had started to descend when I rolled out the mat. Feeling tired, stiff and generally awful. Much more yoga required.
Same, 5k route. Going to stick with the slow running and short distances until I’m sure I’ve shaken off the Covid. I don’t remember feeling this unfit for a long time. High heart rate, short of breath, tired legs. Full house.
After a calf injury followed by Covid, it's simply wonderful to be back in the trainers! I'll be taking it easy for the next few weeks.
Huge thanks to Mehmet Gonullo for inviting me to his podcast. Mehmet is a tremendous host and made me feel extremely welcome. It was lovely to shoot the breeze and talk a little about the impact of Open Banking for payments in the UK and beyond.
