Out of the common place and into the rare
30.1k 2:51:34. HR Avg 139 Max 160 Avg Pace 5:42
Course: Home to Newmarket and then two loops of Gap Cycle Path.
Start Time: 5:50 pm Temp 16C.
Session Type: Long Run
Music started with "Brule La Meche" by Lo'Jo and finished on "This one's gonna bruise" by Beth Orton.
Woken up by the alarm at 5:15am and out the door at 5:50 for my long run for the week. The plan was to run at around 135 Heart Rate and go just over 8k towards Newmarket and then turm back to home and then do two loops of the Cycle Path. This should get me just over the 30k mark.
It was a beautiful morning and a very pleasent temperature starting out but it warmed up considerably by the end. Luckily there is a lot of shade on the bike path.
The initial 16.6 k I did at 136 HR. The first loop on the Bike Path I did in 38:25 at HR 141. The second loop I did faster in 37:53 but the heart rate crept up to 154. This shows I still have a fair bit of work to do to build up the conditioning in the 70 - 75% of Max HR Zone (HR 131 - 140).
The legs felt great and could have easily gone on for more. I have been looking back through my Training Records and this is the furthest I have run since 26/7/1988. That was at the GC Marathon and I pulled out at the 35k mark. That day I went through the 30k mark in 1:59:10. So a way to go before I get up to that level of fitness.
Total this week 74.5k.

The way you're going, you'll soon surpass your previous fitness! Glad you like the banner idea ; anything I manage to do with that - and most other things including running - is purely hit & miss, trial & error, learn by mistakes!
