Easy Saturday

Did a yoga session in the morning. In the arvo went for a 45 min easy run around the streets. Felt absolutely terrible. Legs were heavy and sore and I had no energy. 9km

Friday run to/from work

Usual run to work. Legs felt pretty heavy. Its been a solid week. 14km. 59.41
Legs were sore for the run home. Looking forward to an easy saturday. 14km 57.54

Thursday Intervals

Out at lunchtime for the same session as tuesday. Too lazy to think of something different to do. Had a one lap warm up, followed by 5 loops at pace with 2 min recovery. Did the first and last in my fast shoes. Wore my joggers for 2, 3 &4 due to blisters. The times went. 6.35, 6.35, 6.34, 6.34, 6.23. Put it all in for the last one. Another quality session. made it back to work 30 seconds before the thunder storm. 16km.

Wednesday med/long run

Headed out at 11.30am. Pretty hot and sunny and humid. Legs were soar form the last few days, but not too bad. Ran along the foot paths and bush tracks down to rotary track. Turned around and ran home. Reasonable session. 1hr31min 20km

Tuesday Intervals

All the rain meant tunks park wasnt an option for todays session. So decided on using a bike track neaby at willoughby. Legs were soar on the run down there, but improved after a warm up. The track is a loop circuit, so i did one circuit warm up to check it out. 8.56, very easy. Then each rep went 6.39, 6.40, 6.43, 6.38 and 6.36. Each with 2 min recovery. Was struggling and held it together pretty well, so i am happy with the session. A couple more week and i might be ready for some racing. 16km. Very bloody humid again

Monday run to/from work

Usual journey to work. Wasnt expecting too much after yesterday, but suprisingly the legs felt fine. A little bit sluggish towards the end, but not too bad. 14km 1hr14sec
Great wheather for the run home. Coolish and pooring with rain. Felt good without pushing too hard. 14km 57.51

Sunday Long Run

Had plans this morning to run up over 35 km. I was out the door at 6.20am and headed down to Nolans reserve with the intention of 4 loops of my 8km track and then see what i had left. At the end of my first loop my blister from last week was giving me problems, so i went home and changed into my old shoes again. I was already leefing tired at this stage and it was only 9 km in. Not a good sign. Went through 10km in 41.54. At the end of lap 2 I was ready to pull the pin, but soon after a second wind momentarily appeared. Through 20km in around 1hr25 something (from memory). From here on it was a major struggle and i was just trying to hang on as long as possible. Telling myself at least its time on my feet. Ended the run shuffling along to 30 km in 2hrs 10min. Nothing near what i was looking for, but i did stick it out for a lot longer than i wanted to. Im hoping the humidity played a part. Here is the 8km loop

No run saturday

Did a yoga session in the morning and had planned short speed session in the arvo, but it didnt eventuate.

Friday med-long

Headed out in the rain at lunchtime. It was quite pleasant to run in, alot better than yesterday. Legs felt pretty good. Ran along the footpaths to lane cove. Most of it was pretty boring. 1hr30min. 20km

Thursday Crap

Not much to report on the running front for the day. Pulled the pin 20min into my lunchtime session and then did the same thing after work. A combination of niggling injuries, lack of motivation and terrible humidity. 7km
