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).

Wednesday 15K @ HR 135 Pace 5:07

14.8k 1:15:57. HR Avg 135 Max 146 Avg Pace 5:07
Course: Work to Riverside and Back.
Start Time: 5:30 pm Temp 25C.
Session Type: Sub 72%MxHR Easy Run

It was just a few degrees cooler tonight and it is amazing what a difference that makes. The plan was for a HR135 run. In recent times, it has been hard to stop the cardiac drift on most runs and the HR usually climbing well above my target as the run goes on. Not tonight though. Out in 37:41 (HR135) and back in 38:16 (HR136).

A very pleasent run where I just seemed to find the groove and drift away. I wonder if it had anything to do with not having my music player tonight?

    I was wondering if the 'cool' weather was my imagination, I'm glad it wasn't.

    Funny, if I'm running alone I find it so hard to get in to a groove without my iPod!

    Thanks for the tip on the bruised toenail - I will keep that in mind for the next long run - no doubt, it will get bruised again. I can't work out why its starting to happen now.

    I agree with Tesso - I just can't find my groove without my ipod!

    While you guys are in a groove, I am trying to change ruts.
