Getting Quicker

Today Total: 10k
Week Total: 30k
Month Total: 57k
Year Total: 768k

To mix the speedwork up a bit I decided on a 5k tempo run this morning.

It was another stunning autumn morning (I just got back before the breeze kicked up) out around Canada Bay and after a rest day yesterday I was set to go.

First warm up k in 5.41 then 5k @ 5.05 followed by an easier 4 k. All up 10k in 52.43 (av 5.16).

Best of luck to the Canberra crew this weekend (marathoners, ultra-nuts and 10kers). For those still overcoming injuries to get to the start line - the power of the human mind can do amazing things so give it a whirl, you've nothing to lose - but please, if it hasn't done its thing by the end of the second kilometer take the smart option and join the cheer squad ;-)

Thanks for the advice 'oh wise one'.

Looks like you're becoming a speed demon now you're not planning on running up and down mountain sides for at least a few months anyway.

Track and field here we come. Better tell the twins.

Fast and wise. Just don't go leaving me in the dust with your new found speed when I lose my Quarry Road virginity ;-)
