Sunday Long Run

I thought it was about time i started writing a training blog as it might assist me to record my training. Ive always been bloody hopeless at running diaries in the past.

Ive been carrying injuries since the Sydney Marathon, then Fitzroy Falls marathon (knee and ankle) in September and October and feel as if im just about over them now.



Sunday long run was supposed to start at 7.00am, but 400m into it i felt very ordinary, so i pulled the pin. reschedule for 4.00pm

I had planned up to 30km around my Manly Dam loop course. Which is 3.75km per loop and runs past my house. aiming for 15 min per loop or 4 min per km. The first lap went by in 14.48 and felt reasonably good. Bloody hot though. Lap 2 was 14.53, lap 3 around 15.00, lap 4 was 15.25. I was starting to struggle now and my ankle was giving me some grief, so thought id try for 2 more loops. Lap 5 was around 15.25 and lap 6 was 15.26. Total time of around 1hr 31 min for 22.5km

I felt stuffed afterwoods, but reasonably pleased to have got it done because after this morning the signs were not good
