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).

Hot! Hot! Hot!

14.8k 1:10:08. HR Avg 165 Max 177 Avg Pace 4:44
Course: Work to Riverside and Back.
Start Time: 5:20pm Temp 29C.
Session Type: Sub 82%MxHR Easy Run

Was to be my "faster" easy run tonight. Started out well and quickly reached my target HR of 155 at around 4:30 pace. But it was much hotter and humid today and after about 5k while dropping my pace slightly, my HR steadily climbed to 165. Made the turn round in 34:07 (Avg HR 158)but by now my HR was 170. Dropped the pace a bit more but couldn't manage to get the HR below 170. Not that I was struggling, it was just hot. Back in 36:01 (HR 174).

I'll be glad when summer is over.

When I got home, found eldest daughter Ducky had just come back from a 3k run. She had a bright red face and was lying on the lounge floor under the ceiling fan.
