Sunday Morning - Long Run (21.6km/21.6km)
I decided on a long run around the Knox area again
this morning as i didn't want to get up too early today.
A slightly different version of the Knox bike track and
surrounds today and straight away i knew i was in for
a difficult one! I didn't feel comfortable at any stage as
my legs were very tired and didn't improve until about
30mins in. A bit too much of the speed stuff in the past
few days i think. I will have a think about it and i might
make a couple of changes for the next week or so of training.
Oh well, I got to the 10kms in 60:30 and then struggled to
the 20km mark in 2:00:15. I did manage to average around
5:38 pace for the last 4k's but that shows you how slow the
rest of it was! Another 1.6km of cooldown on the way home.
Total distance 21.6kms.
(Now that i think about it - 4 speed or hill type sessions
plus Masters racing is too much in one week. Especially as
it made up over 20% of the "hard effort" training)

What I'd give for even a bad run right now! Good on you for slogging it out Paul, it's bad enough not getting into it, but not getting into a long run makes it very hard to finish
Yep - I didn't even make it to the point
where i would normally turn around so it
ended up about 3k less than it would
have been if i was going well.

I think it still sounds like a great effort to me.
Even for a crap run, it's still 21 k's in the bank.
Well done after a full week to still manage 20+k's is a good effort. Enjoy a couple of well eaned rest days this week.
