Sunday May 18 | ||
| cycle 2:00:00 [3] 41 km (2:56 / km) | |
| Commute both ways between Kurralta Park and home. Only got soaked one way : )
n.b. had a slight detour on the way home as rode the wrong way along Anzac Highway for a while before realising and turning back towards home...stupid! | ||
| Running long 1:37:00 [3] 16.2 km (5:59 / km) | |
| Got Helen to go on a long run with me!!!
Was planning to follow the bike track down to Glenelg but made a re-route as the thought of running near the beach in stormy weather was not so comforting. Instead i used google maps to make a long-ish loop that went Kurralta Park, Unley/ Hyde Park, Mitcham station, Daw Park, Marion road, South road, Morphet road, then along bike track back to Kurralta Park. Had a few stops along the way but kept a fairly constant pace. Calves a bit tight afterwards from running on footpath but the flat terrain made it a pretty easy run. Ran with light-weight rain jackets on as the sky looked really threatening when we left but it ended up actually being sunny. Thus, the jackets were definately not appreciated! Stopped at a deli 3/4 of the way through for icy-poles to cool us down and Helen was pretty relieved to have a stretch. Eventually made it home and Helen was really proud of completing the longest run of her life. Good effort Helen! | ||
Saturday May 17 | ||
| orienteering race (Thornton Park) 45:00 [4] 6 km (7:30 / km) | |
| Come and Try event for juniors at Thorndon Park. Wasn't planning on going but decided to as Helen and I needed to swap shoes after I accidentaly got confused and picked up one of hers on Thursday...oops. Got back the right shoes and did the "long" (really quite short) couse. Was pretty amusing as found many people a little navigationally challenged in the area and none of the gates into the park except one were open which made it even harder. I was amoung a group of people stuck trying to find a way into the park for the last few controls as none of the marked gates were open (an oversight of the Park Ranger's in the morning i think!) Ended up doing an entire loop round the Park, which added a fair bit of distance onto the course. Others were a little more adventurous and climbed over fences...

| Running warm up/down 15:00 [2] 2.5 km (6:00 / km) | |
| Ran over to Thorndon Park. Quite interesting as i couldn't see more than a metre infront of me from the pooring rain! Arrived like a drowned rat. | ||

Thursday May 15 | ||
| Running warm up/down 37:50 [2] 6.2 km (6:06 / km) | |
| Home - Wadmore Park return....
Met Vanessa before work (early) and found my way to Wadmore with only a few navigational complications...map would have been a good idea! Still allowed plenty of time so got there on time : ) Stopped at ripe mandarin tree in a park on way home...mmm | ||
| Running intervals 8:00 [4] | |
| Intervals with Vanessa
4 x 200m (easy sprint down-hill starting just after Vanessa. Managed to maintain same distance behind her the whole way) 2 x 400m (slow!!!) Recovery was studying Tasmanian maps...Good luck for the weekend Vanessa!!! | ||
| Running 52:00 [2] 7 km (7:26 / km) | |
| Took it really slow and easy on more of a social run from the MFs. Pretty dark in parts so all stayed together | ||
Wednesday May 14 | ||
| Running (recovery) 25:00 [2] 4 km (6:15 / km) | |
| slow recovery after work with John. Went to Morialta carpark but fairly dark so decided to venture on. Also very tired after Tuesday but still nice to get out into fresh air : ) | ||
| Running intervals 13:30 [5] | |
| Woke up early this morning and it was really nice and misty outside so decided to go out for a bit of a run. Ended up feeling really energetic and did the 3km loop Susanne had suggested for a time trial near my house. Did it in three stages (each approx 1km and felt even better than last night. Definately a bit faster on the 1km times.
Probably the best quality to quantity ratio of a training! lol | ||
| standing recovery 9:00 [0] | |
Tuesday May 13 | ||
| Running tempo 37:14 [4] 7.5 km (4:58 / km) | |
| Decided to join in on the loop as had to wait for John for lift home anyway. Had a good run on the usual loop and did not feel tired surprisingly. Chatted to Helen a lot of the way so more of a social run | ||
| time trial race 20:00 [5] | |
| SLOW compared to pb but at least there's somewhere to improve from!
n.b. time includes warm up and time trial | ||
Monday May 12 | ||
| tennis 55:00 [1] | |
| Hit with girls from my team...good fun : ) and it didn't rain for once! | ||
