Cruising....

Mon: Easy 10k, no garmin so no idea of pace but it was pretty slow

Tues: 5k easy in the morning. Out with the HuRT squad for 8 by 5 mins. No garmin again but reckon the pace averaged 3.25 for the first 6. Increased the tempo slightly for the last 2 reps with an average pace of 3.15 approx. Felt pretty good during the session and it seems the extra km’s is definitely making me stronger. Went for a massage in the evening and jogged home 3.5k.

Wed: Out early with Durante and Steve Thurston and let’s be honest Steve doesn’t like to run at 4.30 pace anymore. We ran around centennial and instead of running steady up Wollahra Hill (800m approx) we powered up it which on both occasions dropped our average pace significantly. Will definitely drop Durante next week on the hill, he was huffing and puffing plenty at the end of it ;)

Durante was pretty tired from the start (why! He’s been pretty lazy recently) and stayed with us for an hour. Ended up running 20.6k at an average pace of 4.15. Steve and I were pretty tired at the end.
Not sure what session to opt for tomorrow. Given I will be running a tempo on Saturday, I may join the HuRT squad….
