Typical Thursday session - 16km run with the middle 20 minutes at threshold pace. 25 laps anti-clockwise around Passmore Oval. Joined this morning by legendary ultramarathon runner Matty Abel, who did a modified version due to tapering for the Six Inch Trial Race in WA next Sunday. Similarly to last week, the GPS decided to flatter me again by reading long! Nevertheless, I took this into account and purely ran on feel, as I managed to do successfully last Thursday. Started off with my legs feeling like concrete thanks to Tuesday's hills (typical 48 hours post-training soreness)! According to the Garmin, I averaged 3:06's for the middle 20 minutes. I would say it was 9.5 laps of Passmore, so likely just shy of 6.2km. So more likely 3:14's. Literally a few meters further than last week, so happy days (especially considering the legs). Finished the remaining few kilometres getting dizzy! Humidity is horrible!
Same as Tuesday, except a lower heart rate (and felt easier). 4:33's at 120 beats per minute. Just the normal 8km loop - a bit of congestion at the Corso where they are (controversially) setting up for tomorrow night's Christmas Carols (real first world problems)!
