Thursday - 16 km with middle 20’ at threshold

Horrible conditions yet again this morning, although with less rain but more wind. The downside of running up at North Head is that it is far from sheltered from the wind, especially when it blows from the south. So today was simply about getting it done, and running to the heart rate - as the pace was going to be completely unreliable. And that I did, finishing the 20 minute effort with a normally terrible distance of 5.78 km holding 3:28’s at 164 bpm. The effort was there, so that’s the main thing - can’t really read to much into the distance or pace. Ran the remainder for 16 km all up. Just glad to get that done. Thankfully the forecast for the next week looks splendid.
