Day 1 - A Fresh Start!


Back after 1 week in Sydney & no running at all in 2 weeks......what a long time 2 weeks seems! However, with Ewen back from the USA tomorrow morning ( Hurray!) & the C2S in 5 weeks, it's time to see if one leg will still go in front of the other.

Surprise! I was contacted by the Sydney Morning Herald today re an article & photo in a C2S magazine, published the week before the run.....they thought it would be interesting to have something on a "legendary runner"!!! Legendary = old, I think!

Anyhow, today's program was: 10 minutes warm-up & stretches.
45-65 minutes at 75-80% of MHR.
Record avg. pace per km & do slight neg. split.
Brisk walk warm-down.

What I did: 10 minutes slow jog & stretches.
50 minutes with HR @ avg. 85% of Max....(a bit high
for such a slow pace?)
Average pace per km = 8:18 mins.
Distance = 6km
No warm-down....... Trouble! Trouble!

Good for CB to be back again!

  2. Legendary is entirely appropriate!!

    The enforced break will do you all sorts of good that you don't even know about!

    It's great to have you back on track - just remember we minions when you're (even more) famous.

    Sorry to hear about Amy.

    Fresh start sounds good - must do one myself before I get too fat to get out of my chair ;-)

    How exciting about the SMH article! You will have to let us know what day its going to be in so I can get to my local newsagency early and pick up one of the few copies they stock.
