Maribyrnong Mauler 38.1klms

Started late at 2:30 pm due to work commitments in the morning.
Ran from Williamstown through to the Maribyrnong river passing Flemington racecourse on the way. Fantastic run along the river when I reached it which was about the 15k mark.

Ran 38.1klms in a time of 3:15.35.
Average heart rate of 147BPM with a max of 230BPM. Is that high?

Average pace of 5:08 per klm. But this run is all about time on the legs.
Time on legs was good as it was about 6 minutes over my goal time for Canberra.
Distance was an increase of 3ks over last week.

Another good long run Superflake. I love the STaR type names you give these runs. The Mauler - reminds me of a wrestler.

A good solid steady pace again and you are right about it being time on legs.

O Runner is also targeting sub 3:10 for Canberra so you will have some good competition there. After watching him from close range yesterday, he is running into some fine form. Yesterday's 6 Hour Metrogaine and a 6 Foot Track training run will also ensure he has had a lot of time on his legs as well.

You sound as though you are jumping out of your skin and can't wait for the 6 weeks to pass so you can run your first marathon.

Just soak it up and enjoy the experience.

Looking forward to seeing you in Canberra.
