Program : 30km only. Start easy. Record AHR but don't worry about it.
I managed an early start at 7:45a.m. It was quite cool then, hot at 27 degrees by the time I finished. Strong westerly wind. Plan was to run 3 x 10km out & back to the car where I'd left sports drink, some jelly beans & water.
I wanted to run each 10km a little faster than the previous 10km & I just managed it!
30km in 4 hours 21 minutes. Oh dear, it was a long day!
1st 10km in 1:28; AHR = 96 (65%); MHR = 112 (75%).
5k laps = 43:46; 44:51.
2nd 10km in 1:27; AHR = 102 (69%); MHR = 125 (84%).
5k laps = 43:07; 43:36.
3rd 10km in 1:26; AHR = 107 (72%); MHR = 122 (82%).
5k laps = 42:30; 42:45
Goal accomplished but my legs were thrashed & very painful especially during the last 10km due to the awful state of the dirt road: hills, rocks & ruts. Am I nuts?!
Distance today = 30km
Weekly Distance = 58km
Don't know about nuts, but you are tough. That run is a good one to have under the belt as you begin the countdown to Canberra. Keep it up Chickybabe.
ReplyDeleteSounds like 'No Country for Old Women'.
ReplyDeleteAre you nuts? Your fellow runners don't think so, we know why you do what you do. As for the rest of the population ....
