13.8km - 61.21
a pb for my standard 13.8km training run doesn't sounds like much but when you havent run a timed 10km run for 20yrs and have only raced a HM once you take every pb you can get.
start is at kangaroo point (thornton st ferry) and is an out/back with the turn at the tap just before regatta hotel/ferry terminal.
i do this run at least once a week and the pb has stood since 2002 (pre-glasshouse 100 miler) when i was doing 120km/wk plus on big weeks and that was 62.30.
have had a concerted crack at it a few times last year (when not terribly fit) and a few the 2yrs before when fitter so am pretty damn pleased with myself.
was planning to go out in 15.30-16 for 1/4 way and see how i felt but found myself there at 15.15 and felt good so cracked on.
splits were 15.15/15.25/15.20/15.20 and probably could have gone a bit faster in the last few kms but was smiling too much.
was trying to do a quick one pre gold coast half to see how i was going and will be upset if i dont go sub 95 there.
but realistically my higher priority is the kathmandu adventure race the following weekend (my first one!) so i need to stay fit & healthy for that one.
have had a busy week at work and buying and investment property so running has definately been a low priority this week.
weekly summary...
(monday - cootha 9.5km)
tuesday - nothing
wednesday - nothing
thursday - 13.8km [did a (non glasshouse) training run in the morning for the first time in about 5 years!] plus massage.
friday - nothing
saturday - nothing
sunday - 13.8km pb
plantar fascia has settled thanks to a PAINFUL massage.
need to hop back on the bike next week.
