Plans this week include another attempt at a fast 5k. I have got under 20 minutes only once since turning 60... and then not by much.
I don't imagine I will do more than 80k in total this week.
Monday 9 March jog - recover from yesterday's half marathon. Note - there is no training scheduled at Parliament House today.
Tuesday 10 jog. Note - there is a Summer Series race at 6:15pm at the Acton Ferry Terminal.
Wednesday 11 jog.
Thursday 12 race ACTMA 5k track championships.
Friday 13 lots of stretching, a light jog, and then a massage.
Saturday 14 9:00am 200m intervals at Stromlo.
Sunday 15 8:00am long run at Stromlo.
I had planned to run the half marathon at a steady pace and that is what I did - a pleasant tempo run at 4:30 per km all the way. I found that a lot easier than racing it! I enjoyed the course and the company of a large field. My ~94.30 was 8 minutes faster than last year when I ran with Charlie, but for some reason felt easier. And, no sign of the hamstring problem that had plagued me mid-week.
