Monday - Don't the sun look good today?
9.5k 50:18. HR Avg 139 Max 149 Avg Pace 5:17
Course: Work to Sydney St and Back.
Start Time: 5:35 pm Temp 20C.
Session Type: Easy Run
After yesterday's effort, it was just an easy recovery run tonight. Actually I was quite suprised that my legs pulled up so well after the race.
To answer some of the comments from yesterday.
ILT - HR 173 works out at 93% of my Max HR (186).
Scott - I was a long way from Ron Peters the winner in my age category. I don't know what time he did yesterday but he did a 10k time earlier this year that ranked him 7th in the world in the 50 - 55 age group for that distance. He is an awesome and inspirational runner.
As for my goal for the 10k race? I will be happy to go sub 42, but I would think 41 minutes may be close to where I get if I can get three weeks of good training in. If they happen to shorten the West End course, who knows sub 40 may be on the cards.

you need your own podcast show. combining songs with running. then you can tell your listeners who've downloaded you to some mp3-thing when to book it, when to go mellow. each show be a different length. i thin kyou should do it, but who am i to push a new time-consuming hobby on another...

Ah, the good old days of short 10k courses! Before all this AA-certified add % distance rubbish.
Then, there's always the triathlon 10k course option - they're always short ;)
