Australian Masters Half Marathon Championships : AKA Cadbury Half Marathon : Training Update
Two weeks active recovery reduced the niggles to none. Two weeks high volume followed, now sitting on 145km last 7 days, expect to average 130km+ for month of November and hopefully December as well.
In three of the next four weeks I have access to some track races of 3000m-5000m all at the right time of evening, around 8pm. They should get me fired up for an OK Half Marathon come January 10.
The course is similar to the old course I ran in 2010. The new version should be quicker as they have taken out the horrible hill in the last 5km of the race. These are my splits from 2010: Cadbury Half Marathon 73:04 (3:20,3:22,3:18,6:29(16:31 5km),34:27 10km ,18:09 5km split to 15km, then up awful hill now deleted, 2.1km 3:56 to finish, 3rd overall...it's still up a steep hill last 400m.
My last month before 2010 event below. Same process is work very hard to New Years Eve, taper to Half Marathon. Six years is a long time between Cadbury chocolate, let's see how it goes.
