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).

Sunday - At long last a long run

25.0k 2:14:29. HR Avg 139 Max 154 Avg Pace 5:28
Course: Home to Bowen Bridge and Back.
Start Time: 7:05 am Temp 18C.
Session Type: Long Run

How nice is it not to have to get up at 4:00am in the morning for your long run just to avoid the heat. I got away at just after 7:00am this morning and even had some light misty rain for 20 minutes on the way out to Bowen Bridge.

Completed the run feeling quite comfortable. Out in 65:53 (137) and back in 68:36 (142). I guess it was my final test and I now feel comfortable that I can realistically think about the Gold Coast Marathon now. With only seven weeks to go though, I need to get some more decent long runs over the next month.

Managed 74k for the week plus a night of dancing.
