Tapering or a Mixed Bag

This week was a recovery/tapering week.  After a few solid weeks of training combined with staying at my sister's place my training was a second priority, however feeling nice and fresh and ready to run the M7 Half Marathon Relay on Sunday (25 July 2010)

19 July 2010

Easy 6km @ 5:08/km average pace along the M7

20 July 2010

Rest day.


21 July 2010

10km @ 5:24/km average pace.  Including 8.5km with Ruby in pram followed by 1.5km of 50m sprints followed by 50m recovery using telegraph poles a markers. 

22 and 23 July 2010

Rest days

24 July 2010


Planned to run the 5km Challenge at half marathon pace.  Started out quicker than planned but comfortable, then reminded myself to run relaxed and easy.  Finished in 22:36 (current 5km PB is 22:18).  Nice even splits:  4:28, 4:31, 4:32, 4:30, 4:21, and a little extra @ 4:22 pace.


5km return @ 5:03/km average pace.


Feeling nice and fresh and looking forward to tomorrow's race.
