Long Run #2
I've redefined my definition of a long run from here on. For me it is as short as 75 minutes and I won't aim for anything over 90 minutes. The minimum of 75 minutes equates to a half marathon which is the longest I will race.
So today was the same out and back to the Arboretum I did a week or two ago. Same minimum time of 76 minutes except I had to run out 800m further to turnaround (1600m extra).
Tomorrow is Stromlo 4 x 2000m again. Hoping the next two Saturday sessions I get the times from last week [Stromlo 4x2000m 1:30j(715,717,715,712)] to similar I did in mid-May last year [Stromlo 4*2000m 60j(705,656,659,656)]. Depending on the condition of Stromlo circuit, where the course is cut, hills and twists it is around 10-15 seconds slower per km than on track. Steve is almost there and running quicker than me, I have some catching up to do.
My weight mid-week blew out to 59.4kg That was enough to scare me into taking some action. Back down to 57.8kg now.
