AHR 100 bpm (74% of max.)

TE  1.3 ... WHAT?!  I worked so hard!!

I enjoyed most of this morning's long run/walk, except for there being no sunshine and a cold wind; all bleak winter.  Kept 30/30 uphill, downhill and on the flat except for a 2 minute downhill which I ran, enjoying gravity do all the work and that made up for the struggle on the way out on the same hill.  I felt really, really tired during the last 2km and struggled big time to get up the last long incline and back to the school to finish.

I finished with my usual stretching routine on the grass before driving home.  That's Week 6 of 10k training program finished.

This Week : 43.4km

Total for 6 weeks 175.9km

12km run/walk
