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).

Friday - It's not healthy to run at this pace, the blood runs so red to my face

6.5k 30:58. HR Avg 154 Max 171 Avg Pace 4:45
Course: Gap Cycle Path.
Start Time: 5:10 pm Temp 22C.
Session Type: Fartlek

If I am any chance of going sub 42minutes for 10k, I know I will have to start doing some more sessions where I run a bit faster. So tonight was a fartlek session along the bike path. It included a three bursts for 300 - 400m m at sub 4m/K , a 650 m uphill one at 4:30 pace, and finished off with a 750m hard effort reaching a top speed of 3:47 at the end. And to end it a did 50 m of hill bounding on the finish up to my house. Now that makes you breathe hard and puts some blood into your cheeks.
