Still some lingering fatigue from Tuesday's effort, didn't feel as speedy today. The watch was once again more accurate reading laps of Passmore Oval. Quite humid already, and a warm 23 degrees at 650am. Saw Macca early on, along with Brian Black - who I later observed doing 'easy laps of Passmore' on Strava. Took off at the 5km mark, but really made a concerted effort to keep the effort to 'threshold' pace - not beyond (like I have previously done). That is, I made it 'comfortably hard' the whole way around. I liken this tithe effort you feel when you are pushing, but still have that extra speed in reserve if (desperately) needed. Even the last five minutes, I had to keep telling myself 'threshold effort,' as this is when the temptation kicks in to try and run a session-PB. Resisted that this morning, and went onto keep it 'comfortably hard' until the end of the twenty minutes. According to the GPS I averaged 3:10's. I would say a more accurate estimate would be 3:15's, completing just shy of nine-and-a-half laps of the 650m Passmore loop. Finished the remaining distance at a comfortable pace. 16km all up.
Macca is everywhere! This time I saw him changing after presumably an ocean swim at Queenscliff. The man is getting some serious swim training in - watch out Hoey! Easy recovery just before lunch, 4:35's at 120.
