ES Marks 5 x 1k Reps
2k warm up before hand and a 2k cool down afterwards.
Nothing felt good tonight. Felt like I was running in mud and just couldn't get any go forward in the legs.
Could be the lack of training though?
Reps were 3:58, 3:58, 4:00, 3:54, 3:57. All done with a 200m walk recovery. Slowest in years. Although I could do with a 4 min k pace at C2S would give me a 56.

Centennial Park 2 hours
Woke up a bit late so didn't start until 7am. 9 degrees at the start which was good for singlet weather in the park.
Did a couple of laps of Timmy's 10k loop and then another lap inside the park on the grass.
Plenty of people out in the sun this morning.
Have CT's 40th glam rocker party tonight. AKA livin' in the 70's. Should be fun.
Total was 25ks in 2 hrs. Average pace of 4:48 per klm.

Hill Reps 3 x 1.1k
Lord of fatness running up hills. Can't say it was fun. Wasn't even very steep and had some flat and downhill in it as well.
Ran up a grass hill beside Centennial Park. Basically up Lang Rd to Moore Park.
Reps were 5:54, 5:48, 5:56. All done with a jog recovery back down again. Nothing flash about them.

Monday Long Run 22ks
Sunday became Monday after sleeping in. And then my Surf Club AGM and beers put paid to the afternoon run.
Ran from work at Banksmeadow up to Fox Studios and back. Hard run. Lots of side streets and cars. Plus plenty of dark spots to fall over in.
Total was 22ks in 1:49:30. Just scraped under 5 min k pace which was ok. Felt slow at times but I had a lot of stopping to do with lights, people and streets.

Moore Park 12ks
Stuck at work last night so couldn't go for a run. Rained for awhile anyway so it didn't bother me at all.
Ran a couple of laps around Moore Park and past the SFS and SCG.
Total was 12.2ks in 56:32. Average pace of 4:38 per klm. Slightly faster than Monday.
I was looking for you at the 10k turnaround Ewen but was a bit hard with the big crowd. Maybe next month at Bondi? Which I assume you are coming up for?

Gold Coast Half Marathon 1:33:48
Nothing to write home about with my lack of training. My head thought I could run faster but my body said no.
Caught the plane up Saturday with Moh Alkhub on board. Caught the bus to the convention centre to get our numbers as well and then the bus into the accommodation. We were staying at different places.
Up at the god awful time of 4am for the 6am start of the half. Had to catch the bus near the hotel arriving about 5:15. Met up with a few Striders and left my bag at the tent.
Start in the dark and I knew in the 1st k I would struggle to hold the pace I wanted. After that just tried to hold 4:30/k pace.
The organisers heard my whinging from last year and put in a 10k split mat. Very good.
Great weather for the race. Big crowds and the Australian all comers marathon record was broken as well as the course PB in the men's. Deek had the all comers since 82 Comm Games.
Splits were:
10k - 44:00(4:24/k)
20k - 1:29:03(4:27/k)
Finish - 1:33:48(4:26/k)
Finished on net time 611 out of 8572. So still top 10%. I thought more had beaten me than that.
My race positions were good. 612 at 10k, 612 at 20k and 611 at the finish. I know plenty passed me after the 10k mark but between 15k and the finish I was obviously reeling them back in to grab 1 spot. Yeehah!

5k @ RP
13 Degrees and a bit windy. Felt colder but wasn't too bad. Must have been the CO2 fumes keeping me warm.
Did a couple of laps around Driver Ave, Moore Park and Anzac Pde.
5ks in 19:27. Not sure I can keep up that pace for another 16ks. Probably blow up after 5 and struggle home on Sunday.
