Thursday Easy

Decided id have an easy one today. Dont think it will hurt. 10km 48min.
Planning not to run at all tomorrow. I have had some hard weeks, so figure Ill freshen up a bit for my first race since october (striders 10km on saturday). Im not too sure how i will go. Just aiming to take it out at a comfortable pace and see what happens at half way.

Wednedsay Med/Long Run

Uneventful run today. Ran down to rotary track and back. Felt better on the way back. The legs were a bit tired at the end. 20km 1hr29min

Tuesday Intervals

Headed down to tunks park for my 4 minute intervals. Perfect weather (for the beach). A bit too hot for an interval session, but there was a nice breeze. Did 1 warm up interval then the session went 3.49, 3.48, 3.47, 3.49, 3.50, 3.46, 3.48, 3.42. Another good one. Really pushed it. Particularly on the last one. I think its about time I tested myself in a race, so will run the sydney striders 10km race at north head this saturday. 15km.

Monday run to/from work

The legs were not happy this morning. Very sore and tired and it was a struggle to work. I didnt use the watch and took it easy. Feel a cold coming on also. 14km
Felt quite good on the way home. The legs were still a bit sore, but the running felt easy. I didnt push the pace, but it still felt quite fast. I think i must be getting fit. 14km 57.33

Sunday Long Run

Nice and cool this morning at 6.30am for the session. Met Tom H at nolans reserve and headed off on his 10km loop course down to shelley beach. Was a good pace from the word go. The garmin was playing up at times this morning but the splits it gave were first 10km 39.13, second 10km 38.41, Tom headed off at this stage third 10km 39.41 and the final 6km 24.20. Happy with the session. It was good running with tom for the first 20km and I felt pretty good up until 30km. 36km 2.21.55 (7 weeks to canberra marathon)

Easy Saturday

Headed out this morning for an easy run around the streets with scribble. Felt tired, but the legs were ok. 9km 45min

Friday run to/from work

Seemed very warm this morning. After my shower at work I got dressed and was still sweating profusely. So i had to get undressed and hop back in for a cold shower. The legs felt ok, a bit tired but didnt push the pace. 14km 59.30
Still pretty warm for the run home. Started out at a fast pace and was struggling by about half way. I was stuffed by the finish. 14km 56.51

Thursday Intervals

Did the same interval session as the last few thursdays. 1 Warm up circuit, then 5 at pace with 2 min recovery. Times went 6.21, 6.18, 6.25, (wore joggers for 3rd rep) 6.20, 6.16. Another good session. It seems to get quicker each time I do this session. Either im getting quicker, or I was bludging in the past. 16km.

Wednedsay Med/Long Run

Headed out at 11.30am. Felt pretty lethargic for the first 30min. Ran down to rotary athletic track and basically turned around and ran back. Did feel better on the way back, with some cloud cover and a nice breeze. It was quite enjoyable and not hard work. 20km 1hr28min.
