Went to the gym for 10km on the treadmill, so that I could have a 'sort of longish run' on a flat surface...I'd never find 10km outdoors that would be anything like flat &, from all accounts, the Gold Coast course is very flat & will be quite different from what I'm used to running locally.
That was OK & the time soon passed while listening to "Carousel" & running; Avg. HR = 65%; Max HR = 70%.
By the way Chickybabe, I once represented the ACT in the Hammer Throw! True story. Maybe I should try a double decathlon.
ReplyDeleteMy legs kept their promise Chickybabe.
ReplyDeleteGC is very flat making it difficult to keep focused if you are used to some hills. Along the way you need to set yourself some mini goals to get you through to the big one.
Not a bad idea of yours LL - yes, GC is as flat as flat can be.
ReplyDeleteOh, and thanks for the sympathy for my poor old and tired back ;)
I'm sure the flatish trip at GC will be very nice, sun on the shoulders and lots of new things for you to check out whilst enjoying the day, I bet you will not miss any of the hills. :-)
