Mostly recovery from Cherry Blossom plus a bit of work at the end of the week. I've been playing around with the idea of wearing split shorts (so very 2009) instead of boy shorts, simply because pressure/compression seems to make my muscles stiffer. So I did my last long run in split shorts, with gels.
And.... that's a nope. Maybe it's just me, but the split shorts don't work anywhere near as well for carrying gels as the boy shorts do - the gels move around a lot more when the short doesn't hold them in place.
Glad I tried that on a long run, instead of assuming it would work...
