Canberra Runners Half Marathon 11th overall 1st M60+ 80:42

Cool and extremely windy for the lumpy Canberra Runners Half Marathon. After a cautious start I found my threshold and sat on it for 80 minutes. It was a tough day for everyone. After the run a cafe visit to warm up the numb body. It will take a good fortnight to recover. Next race is in July.

Good to see you Bruce. Well done on your run and result, it was a tough day. Seemed colder at the finish with that wind than at the start.

Ta Ewen, it was a nice visit to CBR. Loved the Customs Joggers uniforms, very stylish. Many Canberra Runners Half Marathons have been in great conditions. Sad we lucked out this year.

Long Intervals

Of me: Early set. Same set as last 2 weeks, quicker again. 2000m (631), 1600m (5:13), 1200m (3:57)[first 4 efforts at 10km pace], 800m (2:30), 400m (69)...all with 200m recovery. Running technique much better. Form much better...not sure how much the form is due to iron jab or 5 weeks of consistent training and some great sessions. Of the others: I paced 5200m at exactly 4mins/km. Roget and Tori did what they could at that pace. Maria did 3 x 1000m. Janene on her own did similar to other weeks in the 4:10-4:15 range. Heidze did 1600m, 1200m, 800m, 400m and looking very comfortable in doing so. Kathy some strides. Helen this morning 4 x 7 minutes.
