I knew I had been slack and hadn't posted for a while but I did realise it was back in the beginning of August! So what have I been up to? Am I still on track for my 9 k race in September?
13th August
Off on a training walk. It was classified as difficult and while at moments I could see why, overall I thought it was a moderate walk.
Distance: 5.5K
Time: 1.5 hr
Classification: Difficult
14th August
Our usual personal training session, in a new location due to council law changes.
15th August
After running 16k and walking another 5.5k last week my body sure struggled today. My aim was a 4k run, that did not happen.
What: Walk 12 min; run 1.6k, bike 11 min (5k)
Time: 30 min
20th August
This was meant to be a "long" run, but all I could manage was the 4k along the waterfront
Distance: 4k
Time: 31'14''
Pace: 7'47''
21st August
Another weekly personal training session
23rd August
Finally a real "long" run (well long for me ok?). Finally felt like I achieved something and that I will be able to complete the 9k in September
Distance: 8.5k
Time: 65 min
Pace: 7'43''
26th August
Early personal training session due to going to Brisbane for the Rugby
30th August
Another long run. I'm finding it strange that the longer I run the better my pace, it just doesn't make sense, shouldn't a longer run be slower?
Distance: 9.5k
Time: 73 min
Pace: 7'43''
1st September
A new month, where have the last 8 gone?
Distance: 4k
Time: 31'17''
Pace: 7'48''
4th September
No personal training this week, our trainers at a wedding...in Ireland (lucky girl), so we tried to create our own.
5 x 90 second fast run with 45 second breaks
10 x squats, 24 x walking lunges, 10 x step up each leg, 1 x 1 min run - repeated 3 x
10 x push ups, 10 x pull ups, 10 time tricep dips, 1 x 1 min run - repeated 3 x
With the 9k race in less than 2 weekends I have some more long run planned this week, a few short 4ks and then 1 personal training session left. Yikes we'll see how I go!
