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).

Thursday 15k @ HR 157 Pace 4:21

14.8k 1:04:24. HR Avg 157 Max 168 Avg Pace 4:21
Course: Work to Riverside and Back.
Start Time: 5:10 pm Temp 24C.
Session Type: Sub 82%MxHR Easy Run

A really good run tonight. A bit cooler and the rest day yesterday probably helped. The aim of this session is do it around HR 155. Out in 32:16 (151) and back in 32:08 (163) for 64:24. This is the fastest I have done this course and it pleasing to be able to do it while still keeping within my target HR and staying in the aerobic zone and having done no speedwork.

I really got focused on the run back making sure I kept my form. Ali Farka Toure was playing again (this time the "Red" album from 1979) but I honestly can't remember listening to any of it until the last 200 m or so. Pity as it is a great album. I'll give it another spin tomorrow when I take it a bit easier.
