What started out as an easy jog with mounty turned into a painful, uncomfortable race against time. Very happy to report that i JUST BARELY made it back to the safety of my changeroom before my bowels completely exploded, rending the cubicle completely unsafe for human use. Sometimes a couple of flushes are gonna cut it, but sometimes it's better just to burn the place down and rebuild.

Another easy commute with maybe 8 or so strides on downhills and flats

Long lunch tempo out around balmain bay and back aiming just under 4mink. It was VERY windy, and a bit undulating so the splits aren't great, tried to focus on keeping heartrate around 165bpm. Pretty shattered at the end, mostly lungs from this bitch of a cold, and depleted from no water/food the whole run.
Really important long tempo session in the leadup to Sydney, Western Sydney, and Melbourne Marathons (or half marathons). I need to decide if/what i'm going to run on each, and having concentrated mostly on short speed and with only one mara specific session under my belt, i don't really know where i'm at.
At the moment i'm thinking of doing Sydney half, then either WS full or Melbourne full. I feel like if i do Sydney full, it won't help my efforts for the other one/two, but a half race is good prep for a full.

Coastal classic 2017 Wasn't sure how today would g given a ive been sick all week, and felt a pretty high heart rate early, but felt surprisingly confident on downhills, road technique got me through the flats, but struggled big time on every uphill. Thankfully the course is much easier in the second half now and could cruise, finding the second half a lot easier than previous years and could concentrate on speed.losing places.
2:36:39 and 15th place, although it's hard to compare to previous years with a dry course, firmer sand and prob 6k more boardwalk on my least favourite part of the course.
Took a wrong turn onto the beach in palm jungle, will need to be k how much time I lost there. Also ate a lot more than normal (4-5 gels) which I think helped, will continue that for races in future..
