Oh dear me, how time gets away sometimes and when writing up my blog becomes this far behind again it makes it so much more difficult to catch up. I will record briefly what my activities were as it's great to refer back to when I'm checking on my training in the future.

Not sure of pace as I forgot to take garmin in my running bag this morning. However, it was hard work keeping Jen and Ewen within sight! They ran at 5:50pace so I guess my pace was nearer 6min per km.
Thursday 29 October
Track at AIS
The only event I was interested in running tonight was the 3000m and that didn't start until 8.15pm. I arrived about an hour before and ran a gentle 3km outside the AIS with Marg. We then ran the 3000m. I was a little faster than the last couple of weeks so if I can just keep improving a little bit each week eventually I should go under 15mins (that's my theory anyway)!
Distance: 3000m
Time taken: 15:32
Average pace per km: 5:11
Total distance: 6km
Friday 30 October
6.15am - Body Balance at gym for necessary stretching!
Saturday 31 October
8.15am - Run with Jen and Ewen from War Memorial.
It was a stunning day today - sunshine and it later reached 27deg although at this time of day it was a pleasant 17deg - perfect! We ran the Ainslie track, Duntroon, through the Wetlands, Comm Ave and back along Anzac Pde. I felt great until the last 3km when I suddenly felt quite unwell and slowed down considerably which was disappointing. I felt a lot better after water, coffee, a snack and lots of talking at Hudsons after the run. Nothing like great friends and sunshine to make a run a good experience!
Total distance: 16.4km
Time taken: 1:45:19
Average pace per km: 6:25
Calories burned: 960
Your 3000 is zooming in the right direction! 5:11 per km is quick. Definitely 14-something on the way.
ReplyDeleteYes, a good run this morning - and great coffee. Gee you girls can talk though - I could hardly get a word in!
Congrats for your hard training. I've seen you're running about 45 Km. every week.
