Robert Song's Running

I'm over 50 and been running off and on since 1968. I have run everything from 800m to 10k on the track, to half marathons (PB 1:21 Brisbane 1993) and marathons (PB 2:53 Gold Coast 1985).

Sunday Morning hot and humid

13.6k 1:09:20. HR Avg 155 Max 170 Avg Pace 5:08
Course: 2 laps Gap Cycle.
Start Time: 7:30 am Temp 24C.
Session Type: Easy Run

So I woke up this morning at 7:00am and was out the door by 7:30am intent on an easy run of two laps of the cycle track. It was cloudy which at first made conditions Ok but after half an hour the sun came out and it warmed up rapidly and the humidity was stifling. First lap was 34:12 (Hr 148) and the second 35:08 (162). The second lap was a struggle and I was glad to finish. I'll have to get up a lot earlier in future.

It looks like it is going to be a Sunday Morning run for the foreseeable future. With 2 A-League matches on TV starting at 5:00pm it isn't a good time to go for a run. Any earlier in the afternoon and it will be too hot. This is not ideal if I do my Long Runs on Friday night as it means only 36 hours recovery instead of 48 hours if I was to run in the evening. May change the Long Run to Monday or Wednesday night.

54k for the week which is the first decent week for a while.
