Saturday at Centennial - 2 x laps of the white fence tempo + 8 x 150m hills (jog recovery) (am) + 40 minutes recovery (pm)

Probably the easiest session of the week - not that that is saying much, as the last week has been brutal to say the least. Two 3.6km laps at tempo pace in the anticlockwise direction was first up. Like always, anticlockwise reads short on my GPS (about 100m) - so I knew the pace was going to read slower than it was. Didn't bother me to be honest, as I purely ran on feel. Ended up getting it done solo out the front in 23:51 - just under 3:19's, so perfect pacing. Felt tough, but (just) manageable. Walked over with the others to the hill just opposite the cafe for 8 reps. The usual 5km cool-down for just over 18.4km all up. Just saw next week's program - looks much more respectable. A speed week, with only one double run. Still got to get through this afternoon and tomorrow first though.

It's definitely quite humid for this time of the year. Got out just before lunch for an easy 40 minute run. Decided to avoid the crowds and headed towards Nolan's where I ran along the path, a lap of Passmore, a lap of the golf course and back along Queenscliff. Nice and easy, 8.71km at 4:36's - holding 119 beats per minute. Looks like I will fall just shy of a 150km week after tomorrow's two hour run.
