Running long 2:03:32 [4] 22.0 km (5:37 / km)
ahr:147 shoes: Asics GT2120
Long run. Up Majura via the triple tri track, lots of wiggles through the pines, up a new steep Ainslie track then down War memorial path and home behind Ainslie suburb. I was tired from the start, feeling yesterdays run, and very much just doing enough to keep in touch. Actually endurance wise I felt ok, more strength & speed were a bit weary. As per Coach instructions, and with a bit of encouragement from Miss Jones, I surged from the 1hr 50mark till home. Its a good thing to do as I very much felt the pain and effort that I felt at times during the marathon last year - keeping the pace up even though feeling awful. Miss Jones, Jo & Grant put the surge in also and showed me a clean pair of heels!
Big crowd at coffee at Sfoglia with Nat, belinda & the Dees joining us after having a trot at Majura. Coffee was good for mine.
