Training Log Archive: Clara

Ran around the outside of the res with Dave. One of my goals from the holidays, only 3 weeks late. Wasn't as hard as I was expecting, and I pulled up ok from my epic (by my standards) ride. Didn't quite beat the 37.37 record, but came close ;-) Surged on the hills out the back. Made it to the pub in about 45 mins, then went up Burns St to Creely's and home to make it up to an hour. According to David the last 5 mins were good, 1st 55 suspect though. I went fairly tentatively down the hills because it was rocky. Pretty happy as I didn't think I was up to all this training this weekend :-)

C • Well Done 2

Struggle home

Gooseneck with Dave and Jo-Anne. Really, really, really struggled at the start with hills and wind until we turned on to Axe Crk road. Felt a bit better through the middle bit but slowed down again in the last 20 mins, especially along Crook St. Made it up McIvor Hwy hill in the saddle though :-) Saw 2 geese on the way home.

Too hot...

Legs were feeling pretty tired for some reason and weren't going to go fast. Took Gumble map to look at during recoveries.
30s, 60s, 90s, 2 min, 90s, 60s, 30s and equal recovery.
Main difference between recoveries and efforts was probably whether I was looking at the map or not, rather than pace!!

Kind of feel like I'm getting sick...just not feeling 100% (especially during botany prac, but that may be unrelated!)

Legs had nothing today...felt tired after 3 days running. Rest day tomorrow. Almost got attacked by a dog - probably the same one that wanted a piece of Liggo. Just cruised around the Yarra a bit. Beautiful weather for it :-) Also managed to finally put up my bike seat.

C • Next time you are in Bendigo 2

My maiden Monday night run :-)
Pretty good turn-out from the Bendigo end too.

Nice run with Jas, Kirsten, Blair, Ilks, Zoe, Neil, round Prinny, across to Rathdowne St, down the centre of Rathdowne, back across to Prinny for 10 mins extra.
Legs were feeling good, bring on the res.

Thanks for an awesome tea Ilks!
