Not much to say. Sunday felt hard, but I ran it at 5.48/km so I actually did pretty well. That doesn’t include stopping to push a broken down car off the side of the road (I stopped the watch).

Another good week. Pretty sore midweek and not quite as fun on the long run, but what the hey I made it! The “half marathon” time would have been 2:13:13, not exactly the sub two hours I thought might be possible. Still I think my current plan of sticking around this distance with very slight increases will pay off. I have pretty much no soreness today, which I’m taking to be a good sign.

A good week! Some speed work on Wednesday following Yuri and Mark, and a great Sunday run of 20k’s. I was dreading it after last week but it was the best run I’ve had in ages. Felt good and was whistling at half way… maybe I could have gone a bit faster then.
I took a new route I’ve named “Park to park” as I go through Sydney Park and onto Centennial. Every city should have green spaces like this!


Ignore the km’s for the midweek runs, the GPS really didn’t like running fast through the city. The weekly total is therefore out too, pity because it was a big week.

Bad week this week. Felt flat and run down all week. The Saturday run was going to be 19k’s but I thought I would collapse if I went any further! Possibly had a touch of the lurgy going round work again. Can’t be bothered to do each run as an entry.
