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).

No more classes for a week or two (Part 2)

My holiday running continued. Still can't seem to get uploading of photos working. Maybe the firewall on this computer is blocking them??

Week 3 1 - 7th January
Monday - Rest Day. If you call walking, surfing, swimming and tennis as rest.
Tuesday - 16.6k in 90:15 (HR 148 Pace 5:14)
Wednesday - 10.1k in 55:14 (HR 137 5:28)
Thursday - 10.1k in 53:11 (HR 143 5:15)
Friday - 16.6 K in 89:39 (HR 143 5:24)
Saturday - Rest
Sunday - 33.2k 3:09:23 (HR 145 5:41). Woke up at 4:00am to get this one in. Conditions again were great. My longest long run since GC Marathon.

Week Total 86.6k. Really happy with that. I also would have walked at least another 5k a day on top of this. All these runs have been early in the morning which is a real change of lifestyle for me.


Week 4 8 - 14th January

Monday - Rest
Tuesday - 10.1k in 53:00 (HR 148 5:14)
Wednesday - Rest . I woke up early and put my gear on but for the first time on the holiday was feeling tired, so thought I could afford a day off.
Thursday - 16.6k in 83:54 (HR 152 5:03). As I had rested yesterday I pushed it a bit harder today. The humidity has returned and I was completely soaked by the end of the run.
Friday - Time to leave the Coast and head back home. It is certainly a bit warmer in Brisbane. Run 11.0k in 57:33 (HR 149 5:13) in the evening.
Saturday - Rest
Sunday - 31.5k in 3:08:02 (HR 144 5:58). Again up at 4:00am. It is overcast, hot and humid even at that time. 26C and 80% humidity in my lounge room. I take the run easy but the last hour is tough as the humidity is really draining.

Week Total 69.2k. Not a bad follow up after last week. Back to work next week and evening runs by the river.

    Good to see you've had a terrific holiday, your training is going well, and you've chosen to stay married over continuing practical jokes.

    So you don't own a copy of Yellow Submarine soundtrack? That's where you'll find Hey Bulldog...

    Good to see you are getting some long runs in. Wish I could say the same.

    Do you have a goal time for Canberra?

    I occasionally have probs loading photos. Sometimes it just doesn't want to play. I try a few hours later and it works.

    The long runs seem to be going well Robert. I'm glad the lifestyle change is working out. Still pretty hot up there, even at 5am.

    My goodness Robert Song, you are getting in some good long runs. It is so good to hear. Things are on the up and up for you. Obviously the holiday did you a world of good.
