Week and a bit summary

Still on my way to 10k. I entered the Sydney Running Festival 9k today, so good thing I started when I did! I've had a bit of an up and down week exercise wise, but the point it I stuck at it. We'll have to see how the upcoming week goes if the rain plans on sticking around!

Thursday
Personal training session of cross training, a fair amount of running in this one, and as usual you know you've spent an hour exercising by the end of it!

Terrain: Outdoors, sunny, cool
Time: 60 min

Saturday
Big training walk, we choose the location based on distance and due to it being classified as a hard walk. In all honestly I would have called it moderate, but maybe my fitness has improved that much?

Terrain: Mixed, multiple climbs
Walk: Killcare to Tallows Beach to Box Head to Killcare
Distance: 10.5 k
Time: 2 hr 20 min
Pace: 13'17''

Sunday
No personal training today, so we went for a "long" run, which for me involved running 3.3k and then walking. The pain in my calves was just too bad and I was very light headed (need to eat more, more hydration?)

Terrain: Outside, flat, day, sunny but cool
Distance: 3.3k jog, 3 k walk
Time: 50 min (25 min run)
Pace: 7'46'' (run only)

Tuesday
My second attempt at a long run this week, and I made it. It was a struggle for the first 4k and you can tell from my nike log that my pace improved significantly at 4k, personally I think it's because I knew I was on the home stretch!

Terrain: Outside, mainly flat, night run
Distance: 6.5 k
Time: 51 min 25 sec
Pace: 7'54''

Thursday
Short run night, but it was wet and late so I went on the treadmill. Not a bad pace for the dreadmill.

Terrain: Treadmill, 2% incline
Distance: 4k
Time: 31 min 20 sec
Pace: 7'49''


Saturday
Not exercise, but signed up for the 9k as part of the Sydney Running festival, basically I did it to keep on track for my 10k training plan and so I can say I ran over the harbour bridge!
Sunday
Another personal training session, my poor legs!
