Long Weekend

Fri: 150m Strides
Ran down to Kensington Oval for 20 by 150m strides, nice short sharp session.

Sat: Long Run 36k
Ran over to centennial (3k) to meet up with Conway, Ray, Mike Race, Conor, Berger, Jake and a few other people I didn't know. We did a progressive long run over a 3 looped course

10k  (4.38 km/m)
10k (4.27 km/m)
10k (4.04 km/m)
For the first two loops the pace felt very easy, Conway was controlling the pace. In the last one after about 4k, Ray and I decided to push the pace to bring it down to 4.04 avg.
Ran back home to make it 36k for the day.

Sun: MLR
90 mins at 4.30 pace. The Centennial Ultra was on. I didn't make it over until 10.30am and I was surprised to see the majority of runners were shuffling around the park. In saying that I heard Alex Matthews and Brendan Davies smashed the 50k record. Great run by CT taking out the 100k in 7hrs 51 mins.

Why so much mileage? 56km of running in 2 days for someone training for a half?
