Canberra Runners Half Marathon 2025, 2nd Male 60-69

Great morning for running a half Marathon, Cold to cool and then warming up with the sun. I had a solid run, 3 seconds/km slower than 2024 and like 2024 I started too fast. I carried more Gels today, used them all up but still not enough to run full gas for 21.1km. Only provisional results up now, I will update this post when the full results go live. Garmin splits:3:59/km,4:02,3:56,3:37,3:47,3:52,3:51,4:17,3:52,3:50,4:03,3:59,4:01,4:02,4:08,4:06,4:47,3:49,3:56,4:13,4:18,4:16,3:53,4:03,4:00,4:04,4:07,4:00,4:07,4:10,4:08,4:23,4:18,4:09,4:16,4:17,4:20,4:14,4:17,4:24,4:24,4:08,4:06.Heart rate 157bpm-171BPM, Average pace 4:06/km,Best pace 3:29/km, Course Lumpy, 547m asl - 588m asl.

My final session on the beach at Moana this morning, again starting before dawn, the session: 500m warm up, 2 x 4km out and back with Munchkin the Border Collie. A highlight of good Friday was the large gathering of Easter Bunnies who double as a swimming group. After the beach a 6.5km run along the Mclaren Vale to Willunga Rail Trail. I finish this journey with 3 days of back to Back Racing on track and Cross Country, Saturday 1500m, Sunday 5000m Track, Monday 8000m Cross Country, Long Drive home.

Long Hilly Run 20km ; 4 x 100m, 3 x 200m, 3 x 300m strides

This morning out for a long, hilly 20km in 84 minutes. Plenty of others out there getting the job done before the heat of the day. Spotted Ewen out there at one point putting in a surge I could barely match. In the afternoon still hot. I ran 5km including 4 x 100m (19,17,15,14), 3 x 200m (32,31,31) and 3 x 300m (51,48,48) strides. Legs felt good once they got going. All up 25km for the day, 122km last 7 days. Monday morning a long run including 5 x 100m strides (18,16,15,14,14) and a 600m effort at 3:10/km. On New Years Day 5km Parkrun events at 730am Gungahlin and 930am Tuggeranong. I'll run the first flat out. If I am able to I'd like to break the current M55 record on the Tuggeranong course. It's held by Simon Claringbold with 4 identical times of 17:26. I'm not sure I can on my current form, especially as a second run for the day. If I can't I'll try later in the year when I am fresh and it's a little cooler.
