With only two weeks till Canberra Half Marathon, this morning's run has been shortened; same for next week's.
The Program : 13km @ 7:34m/k.
Knowing there were less kilometres to run today, I decided to try to run faster than the program said (7:34m/k) and nearer to half marathon pace (6:38m/k)...brave decision but I didn't quite do that! I was close though.
- I did the entire run, except for 2km from the school, within the quiet streets of Renwick. I chose this because it gave me a variety of terrain : some flat sections, long inclines as well as a few shorter ones......all the essential ingredients needed to finish preparations for Canberra in two weeks' time.
13km in 1:31:29
Avg . Pace 7:02m/k
AHR 120 (75%); MHR 135 (85%)
5k splits : 35:14; 34:45; (3km 21:29).
What a brilliant day it is, everywhere I hope, but certainly here in the Southern Highlands : clear, blue skies, slightest breeze and warm, friendly sunshine. I don't think it could be any better than it is here right now!
Just 32km this week on the 3 key workouts.
Doesn't it make a difference when the sun shines! We had a perfect day in Canberra too. Fingers crossed it's like this in two weeks' time. So looking forward to seeing you again although two weeks away sounds a bit scary as far as the marathon goes!!
ReplyDeleteYou'll be fantastic! No need to be scared....although I always was before a marathon!
DeleteThat looks like a nice quite venue for a long run - much safer than Range Road! It'll be a shame when they fill it up with houses!
ReplyDeleteYes, it will and to think that for years I used to roam all over that area with my dogs when it had hills and cattle grazing. I suppose it's called 'progress'!
