Seems to be quite difficult to consistently blog at this time of year - must be the social engagements but rest assured I am still running. Been my biggest week for a while this one doing the Hurts sessions on Wed, Thurs and today. Even got out for a 500m swim this morning which helped after a late ish night at the annual Hurts Xmas party last night. But I get ahead of myself.
Wednesday saw a very small turnout for the long run, so we decided to go north and do Lavender Bay for a change. Was a nice easy-ish pace for the first 6kms until Rob Castella and English John decided to up the pace from the top of the steps onto the bridge and then it was on for young and old. Our stats tell the story with a 5.11 up on to the bridge closely followed by a 3.48. Caused some collateral damage for a few of us. Stats for run at http://connect.garmin.com/activity/134531181
Thursday saw my very first Rushcutters pyramid set and boy did that hurt. The set itself is bad enough - a circuit at roughly 400m done as 1,2,3,4,3,2,1 laps with a rest time between the laps of half the time it takes to complete, the 2kms of hills and steps to and from just don't help. Stats for that session are at http://connect.garmin.com/activity/134750886 and very happy with a faster last lap than first, pretty even pace at around 3.45m/km and very chuffed with a 3.14 pace for the last one. Heart rate recovery not looking too bad either.
As mentioned did about 500m at Clovelly this morning and got out for the Hurts run today - one of only 3 people who turned up and two of us were at the soiree last night. Some of those Hurts guys are pretty
soft. So just an easy 10kms today and stats at http://connect.garmin.com/activity/134750878 and and average of 4.40m/km. All up about 37kms this week so not a bad effort prior to Xmas.
Well done to all the Hurts winners last night.
