This blog is mainly to help me and Ron (my fabulous coach) keep track of what is going on in my training. Good days. Bad days. Successes and failures. Aches and pains. That sort of thing. But please come visit once in a while to see how we're getting on!

A bit of tempo - but not too much

18M - double; recovery run and gen aerobic with 3M tempo
8M am recovery run at ~7.00min/M with pack
10M pm general aerobic run incl 3M (at end) at 5.35min/M with pack

Today was a good day. I gave it a bit of a push towards the end of my evening run. But I'm saving myself a bit for a HARD long run on Sunday.

I'm feeling fairly fresh still, though I can never really tell what I have in the tank until I really put my foot down. I was quite pleased with how my three tempo miles felt at the end of this evening's 10 miler. I had my pack on and the route takes me up the Queenstown Road hill, so I was probably putting a fair bit more effort in than 5.35 pace. Perhaps closer to 5.10 pace. Whatever speed it's equivalent to, I felt good and pleased with the rhythm I hit.
