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).

Rethinking the rethinking.

Mon
6.8k 34:44 (HR 156 Pace 5:06)
This was supposed to be an easy recovery run but somehow it turned into a much faster run.

Tue
14.5k 1:33:22 (HR 136 Pace 6:26)
A nice easy run.

Wed
Rest

Thu
9.5k 48:30 (HR 160 Pace 5:06)
Unlike Monday, it was the intention to push a bit harder on this one.

Fri
12k 1:18:45 (HR 125 Pace 6:33)
Again another nice easy run.

Sat
Rest

Sun
20k 1:57:59 (HR 146 Pace 5:54)
The weather was much cooler this week compared to last but still a big improvement from last week.

Week Total 62.8k

A very satisfying week of training. I am at last starting to be able to run some reasonable distances and stay around the 70 - 75% Max Hr Zone. As well Thursday's effort run shows steady improvement at that level of effort.

I am back to thinking that sub 2 for the Twilight Half may be a possibility.

Clairie I am jealous in the extreme that you will be going to the World Cup Semi-finals and Final. It will take a miracle for Australia to go that far. My only tip would be not to forget your earplugs. The dreaded vuvuzelas will be out in force.
Try this if you want to get an idea.

    Bloody Clairie!

    Got to be happy for her. Though I wish I was going too. It will be an atmosphere like no-other!

    Sort of like the cheers you'll hear from here if you go sub 2hrs sometime soon ;)

    Yikes, you're doing more k's in a week than I am, and I'm supposed to be fit.

    You put me to shame Graham!

    I reckon that based on the 20k time the re-think of your re-think is pretty well founded!

    (I'm not thinking of how jealous I am of Clairie because I'd spontaneously combust).

    Who cares about going deaf, even if Australia's not playing! Lucky girl.

    You'll smash 2 hours going by that 20k effort and the overall improvement in the training. 1:50 looks like a more realistic goal.
