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).

Tuesday - another Long Run

25.0k 2:18:28. HR Avg 142 Max 163 Avg Pace 5:31
Course: To Bowen Bridge and Back.
Start Time: 4:55 am Temp 23C.
Session Type: Long Run

I ran this same course last Friday and the previous Sunday and again this morning. Three times in 10 days.

They have gone like this -
  1. Sunday 2:18:15 (HR 146) - Out 68:43 (140) Back 69:32 (153)
  2. Friday 2:20:43 (HR143) - Out 70:11 (137) Back 70:32 (148)
  3. Tuesday 2:18:28 (HR 142) - Out 69:45 (137) Back 68:42 (148)

I am especially pleased by the Back time today. The quickest and the at the lowest HR. Maybe it was the soothing though rather eerie atmospheric music from Sigor Rios that was playing on the way back that did it. It can't be the lyrics as the songs are either in Icelandic or Hopelandic a scat-like form of gibberish.

Anyway got home just in time for handing out of Birthday presents. Ducky is sweet 16 today.

    3 x 25k in 10 days - you're racking up some great mileage there.

    Happy Birthday to Ducky! I guess she celebrates by going back to school, or did she start yesterday?


    PS I'm just in the process of loading your "So This Is 2006" to entertain me today at Fitness First.

    Those are great splits and some seriously impressive k's. Apart from the temp of 23C, your forgot to mention the 93% humidity! Well done for such gammy weather.

    Happy birthday Ducky!

    Happy birthday to your daughter. I hope she had a great day. I guess that means she'll be attending a year 10 Formal later this year?
