A.M. 4 x 3:00 progressive, on treadmill, 3 min recoveries.
This was my first workout in several days. HR at 6:00 pace is definitely up, but became relatively less elevated as I increased the speed. This means my LT has decayed a little but aerobic capicity has not. Two weeks or less of regular training should restore everything.

P.M. Easy mini run
I'm a big believer in 1) making slow, progressive increases in training load, and 2) that re-establishing normal training frequency should be the first priority when coming back from a lower training level. So, I'm re-introducing doubles with small runs like this, because, for now, volume is a non-issue. The length of these runs will increase as I start to feel back in the zone.
