Monday Intervals

Headed down to tunks park for a session of 3min intervals. Decided 6 was more than enough. Great weather. I thought my legs might have a bit more spark than they did after an easy weekend. 11km

Saturday/Sunday

Sat morning out for an easy run around the dam trails. 8km
Sun morning started out running 3.50 pace for 6 km, then eased off and finished at 12km
Sun arvo easy 5km down the park with scribble.
2 weeks till canberra marathon.

Friday run to/from work

Another easy one this morning. Felt pretty ordinary again. I will try and open it up on the way home. 14km

Felt heaps better on the way home (probably something to do with the can of V and 2 Ibupropin tablets). Pushed it from the start and held a good pace for the entire way. Finished in 51.35 for 14.08km average 3.39per/km. Good time over over hilly course. Previous best high 55min. Now i just need to do three of them in a row for my target in canberra

Easy Thursday

Another easy one today. Great weather, but the legs were not feeling great. Ankle was sore, as was the hamstring. Actually felt quite uncoordinated. 13km

Wednesday Intervals

I couldnt stand the thought of another interval session at tunks park today, so i resorted to by bike track at willoughby, which i last used about a month ago. Wasnt too sure what to do (course pb 6.18). So did one easy lap to get things going, then a flat chat lap in 6.03, then another flat chat in 5.59. Took an easy lap about 8 min, then another flat chat in 5.57. Was good to be moving fast again, and after i got my breath back legs felt fine, but didnt feel the need to over do it. 14km

Tuesday Easy

I had planned to do an interval session today, but on the first one felt very average, so decided to leave it till tomorrow. Just ran an easy 11km around home.

Monday Easy

Pretty sore all over this morning. Another easy run with scribble in the bush. 1hr 13km
Back in sydney now. monday arvo. Cant say im pleased to be back.

Sunday Long Run

3 weeks to canberra marathon
Running by 7.00am. Didnt feel fantastic and the hamstring was a bit sore. Headed along some back streets ive done in the past. Went through 10km in 40.21. At this point i was thinking it was a bit fast. (i had intended to get quicker as the run went on). Then next 10km in 40.45. Was struggling in the hills on the next 10km, but still felt reasonable 10km 41.39. The last few weeks the wheels have really fallen off in the last few km's, so i was happy i held it together better towards the end for this one. 8km 33.20. 38km 2hr36min (ave 4.06).
Easy run through the bush with scribble in the arvo. 6km.

Saturday Easy

Saturday morning another easy one with scribble. 1hr 13km

Friday Intervals

Headed down to my place down south friday morning for the easter break. Decided id give my bush circuit from christmas time another go. Had a nice warm up then 4 x circuit with 2 min recovery. My previous best was 8.26 for one lap (but that was a 1 off and not part of a session). The times went 8.38, 8.28, 8.28 and 8.18. Put it all in on the last one and felt I could have done more, but the hamstring was giving me problems. Pretty good session. 17km.
Later on in the arvo took scribble an easy run through the bush. 45min 9km
