Note
rhr:44 slept:8.5 weight:77.1kg

Well, its official, I'm in.... Not sure exactly why, but felt it was just one of those things I should do at least once in my life. In 11 weeks I'll drag my sorry ass up the Mt Washington Auto Road - 7.6 miles, but only one hill.... I always liked the t-shirt, now I'll earn one for myself.

Time to add some hillwork I suppose - probably do 7-Sisters in May (and perhaps train on it too), maybe weekly Soapstone Assault repeats and I guess I'll start using the stairs to get to the BSP facility....

note to self - plaza to 6th floor = 30m, MWRR 1417m, 48 reps of stairs

Run - Trail tempo (Sampler) 28:40 [4] 6.1 km (4:42 / km) +100m 4:21 / km
ahr:141 max:188 shoes: Adidas Response Trail XI

went to forest early for a solo sampler, easy for first 7 minutes, then felt good and cranked up the pace, I think a PR... pretty hard effort even though average HR not that high, but my meds tend to depress AM HR by about 10-12 beats. Plus the easy first mile brings the average down too...

Run - Trail (Sampler > Moonlight) 1:02:33 [2] 11.25 km (5:34 / km) +200m 5:06 / km
ahr:136 shoes: Adidas Response Trail XI

after the usual pre-run kibbutzing, went out for an easier sampler extending it with a modified moonlight course. Kevin, Bruce & two new runners - Ben & Dave? Hopefully they will become regulars......

Run - Trail hills (Crandalls) 23:13 [3] 5.0 km (4:39 / km) +160m 4:00 / km
ahr:144 max:184 rhr:44 slept:6.0 weight:76.2kg shoes: Adidas Response Trail XI

Brisk loop @ Crandalls on a gorgeous afternoon. Pushed hard on hill, topped out 30-40s faster than last week, but still managed to run 16s slower overall - just not enough in the legs at the end.

So while sprinting across parking lot at end I stripped off wind breaker, punched a split on the watch and kept going for....

Run - Trail (Crandalls) 13:05 [3] 2.5 km (5:14 / km) +30m 4:56 / km
ahr:141 shoes: Adidas Response Trail XI

some additional mileage on the lower part. Out dirt road, in to beach area, repeat pine grove, then red/blue/yellow trail combination back behind Crandalls 2 ballfield and finishing off the hill there. A bit slower pace than 1st 5km, but still a tempo effort

Run - Terrain hills (Crandalls) 53:16 [3]
ahr:133 max:172 rhr:43 slept:7.0 weight:75.7kg

Nice day and more time today so opted do do a bunch fartlek terrain running at easy/moderate pace. Frequent direction changes, pushed hard up small hills, then eased off over the top - randomly running knoll to knoll - felt really nice in open woods, but felt slow when footing was marginal - probably just a lack of confidence to run harder in crappy stuff.

Off to first spring session of Jackson's Happy Feet running club at school - (1st & 2nd graders)

Run - Trail (Happy Feet) 30:00 [1]

Running club with 30 1st & 2nd graders - half easy trail run/hike, half laps of soccer field.

Like last fall, ran many of the laps backward, quads burning pretty good, feels like same muscles used for climbing, wonder if jogging backwards helps hill climbing ability? Hmmmm....
