About Me

My Photo
Name: Luckylegs
Location: Mittagong, New South Wales, Australia

I'm a three score & somewhat more(!) retired school teacher who did no running until age two score & ten! I began jogging between Bronte & Bondi, before swimming at Clovelly with a best friend, very early,every morning throughout the year. This led to entering some 10km fun runs, and in 1984 the first of 17 (or more by now) City-to-Surf runs. I ran my first (of 20 half marathons by now) at age 60 and my first of now 8 marathons at age 70 .... the 2000 Sydney Host City Marathon. I was lucky enough to be able to run the New York City Marathon in 2003 where I carried the Australian Flag during the Friendship Run from UN to Tavern-on-the-Green, Central Park. At Canberra marathon 2001, I established an age category W70-74 Canberra Marathon record and in 2004 an age category W70-74 Australian Ultra Marathon record for 50km ...and the same records again in 2006 for the next age category, W75-79! Running will always be an important part of my life. Now, almost at the end of 2008...all missions accomplished for this year!

Track at Chev.


Program: 2km warm-up.
16 laps averaging HR of 120.
Time each 4 laps.
The only part of the track where the grass had been cut was a narrow strip along the outside line of lane 8, so I ran on that. A bit wet & one muddy section to plough through but the day was perfect for running : cool & more of the misty rain we've had all week. Not a too difficult session which will therefore increase to 20 laps next week....so I'm told!
The session :
2km warm-up in 20 minutes, using the road that runs through the grounds of Chev.
16 laps lane 8 (6730m) in 46:31 (6:54/k).
AHR = 120 (81%); MHR = 127 (85%).
**4 lap splits = 12:16; 11:26; 11:39; 11:11.
2km warm-down in 20 minutes.
A few stretches.
Total distance = 10.7km. Time = 86 minutes.
**Any discrepancies in 4 lap times was due to my mismanagement of Mr-Garmin under circumstances over which I had no control!
