Today Total: 26k
Week Total: 81k
Month Total: 289k
Year Total: 289k
Backed up with 2 laps of Quarry Road this morning to give me 81k for the week which is my biggest running week (training only) since Feb '05, but what is more pleasing is with all the cumulative ups I've also climbed in excess of a vertical mile - definitely a first in a training week for me.
Plenty of people out there today - I reckon I might set up a lemonade stall - I'd make a fortune. Spud was looking good as always and I also caught up with an indecisive Dash who is not all together sure about this Six Foot thing..
I felt really crap on the first drag up out of the creek with my calves and glutes screaming in protest and I lumbered through to the Western trail head in a personal worst first split of 50.23. I was starting to think 1 lap would do me but I got a pleasant surprise when I realised I was speeding up and the pain was was considerably less on the haul up the Eastern side..
I finished with my 2 outbound splits being:
50.23 & 49.25
And my 2 inbound splits (slightly easier) of:
47.40 & 46.18
So instead of fading like I have in the past I finished the 2nd lap 2mins 20 secs faster than the first to give me a total of 3.13.46 for the outing. The most pleasing aspect being that on weary legs this is a minute and a half course PB for me. Happy 2P :-)
I am going to back off a bit now and build up over the next 3 week cycle to make my toughest final session the 3rd week out from the race - at this stage I'm thinking either 3 laps of Quarry Rd or a return trip to the Pluviometer.

Wow, nice work 2P :-)
Oooh, nice splits mate - that is strength!
Awesome 2P!! That is a big weekend of running! Enjoy an easier week you deserve it!
Gees, I don't check blogs for a few days and look what my fellow team-mate gets up to! Unbelievable stuff 2P.
I was up in the Blue Mtns on Friday, if I knew you were out there somewhere I could've given you a cooee :-)
Great run today 2P, certainly sounds impressive.
I am interested in you doing your toughest run 3 weeks out from Six Foot...do you recommend that for a marathon as well. Others have been telling me to do my longest (=toughest) run 4-6weeks away and then start the taper with increased quality (=speed).
Is it just different when you do ultras/hill trails or is this something that suits you better?
Good catching you out there too 2P, I suspected I might bump into you at some time. Good solid week behind you with lots of vertical, all bodes well for 6FT!
After doing Megalong to Pluvi return last weekend, there certainly is no substitute for getting out on the track, but I still reckon Quarry Track is as good as it gets training for 6FT in Sydney. Catch you out there again mate.
Well done on the work-rate and PB on that course.
As Gough Whitlam might say, It's Time, to make this your main gig.
You're right 2P, I might pay more interest to the events that I'm running! Never never assume anything!
By the way, good running. Also interesting title for your entry - should get lots of lurkers wondering what you've been up to!!!!
A great run to finish off a big week 2P. You are going from strength to strength. It's looking very good for a PB at the main event.
Wow, you've been very busy since I've been gallavanting! Sounds like the training is going along very nicely and I can't wait to cheer for you on the big day!
