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).

Welcome to the working week

Given that I now have to share a computer with the rest of the family and the kids are still on holidays, I have spent a large portion of my shrinking allotted on-line time battling Blogger. Seems the the solution all along was to upgrade to the new Blogger and since I did that things have been a lot easier.

This weeks running:

Monday 6.8k 36:59 (HR 136 5:26)
Tuesday 14.6k 74:56 (HR 142 5:07)
Wednesday 9.5k 47:19 (HR 148 4:58)
Thursday 14.6k 79:35 (HR 139 5:27)
Sunday 25k 2:18:15 (HR 146 5:32)

Week Total : 70.5K
Jan Total : 226.3K

By Friday I was feeling like rather tired so took an extra rest day. It has certainly been hotter and humid this week and more like normal summer training conditions.

Sunday in particular was very humid and I had planned to go a further 6k but pulled the pin as it really started to heat up.

It has been interesting getting back to my normal runs from work. I have been comparing with last year at this time and I am definitely a bit behind in my fitness levels. The only positive is that I am a lot less behind then I was a month ago. So at least the trend is in the right direction. Still it is going to be a challenge to get to Canberra in better condition then I was last year.

    It could end up like those cricket graphs: Your line will eventually overtake the opposition (2006) and keep going up.
