Run club Thursday

Thursday 6.45pm

My yougest daughter Ally was insistent on going to run club tonight although I told her it was cold outside and if you don't run it will be even colder. She came, decided after 20 minutes it was too cold and that she had a sore stomach and could we go home now ? The joys of parenthood vs running !

4k of warm-up around oval and drills.

Then went home ! Sorry about that Tim .

Friday 5.40 am

Up at sparrows this morning.

3k warm-up to Sydney Park @ St.Peters in 13.43 (4.34 pace).

Few strides. Ran on Alan Davidson oval. Beautiful grass surface to run on.

8 x 1 minute with 45 sec walking recovery. Having the garmin watch means no cheating on the recoveries. By the time I pull up after each sprint 5 secs recovery has gone past and with 5 secs to go it beeps at you to get ready - so recovery is more like 35 secs !

Did 8 reps at 3.05 average pace - total distance 2.6k in 8.00 minutes. Reasonably fast !
Best rep 339 metres, worst 312.

3k jog home 14.45. (4.55 pace).

Total thursday & friday = 13k.

Off to Bundanoon for the weekend - hopefully lots of trail running !
