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.

"Step back" week (I'm sort of following Hal Hidgon's guide) which felt good. Should have run yesterday's 12k a bit harder. I guess I forgot it was going to be easier :) 18k next weekend I think.

Thought I'd manage a sub 1 hour 10k. Then all of a sudden I hit 1 hour but not 10k. Oh well.  
Bit of a new course for a change of scenery. The GPS didn't kick in for at least a 1k, so I'm claiming 7k's for this one.  
Bit painful as I get the data via copy from SportTracks and use it to make the table. I'll either write a hell Textpad macro or Excel it I guess.

15k's! Yay feels like I'm running again. No map image because it's just Centennial and looks the same as below. Slow but happy with the HR. 
Reversed the direction for a change.  
I think this means Wednesday's are 8km days.  
Normal Tuesday run.   Sun, Oct. 15th, 2006, 02:18 am
Hmmm
Look at that I have a blog. I wonder why.
For some reason I never posted the epilogue to this. Yes I finished, in 4:28:27. I set myself a goal of 4:30:00 so I'm stoked. Yes it was hard, especially the last 5k's. As soon as I finished I said I'd never do it again. By the time I got home I'd worked out that I could cut off 15 minutes pretty easily. Haven't really been running since though, which I'm pretty disappointed about.

Dumb
Turns out I'm an idiot after all. On Saturday, 8 days before the marathon, I went climbing. I've never hurt myslef climbing, until today. Took a fall swung into the rock, and ping one sprained ankle. It's not the worst sprain ever, actually I probablly got off pretty lightly, but it's not going to make running 42.2k's agy easier. Bugger. |
