A short jaunt around the Wakefield loop this morning. Played the pace by ear and it ended up being a progression at an easy pace. Tight right hamstring for the first two miles, but after a brief stop for a stretch it felt totally fine.
Quite pleased with the heart rate. It's still higher than normal, but it's getting there.
