2/1 Galloway the whole way.
For the first time this training season, I went all the way up to the end of the road at Tennyson which gets me a 13.5 km return trip. Added in a lap of West Lakes which gave me about 5...
So by the time I got back to the Torrens Bridge, I was 18.5 kms in and not bored as it was new territory.
Headed up the Torrens for 5.75 and back, to get back in under 4:30 which was the amount of time I had to complete the session. Felt great at the bridge... Still felt good but legs were weary.
Pushed on and ran a negative split for the second 15 kms
2:17 ish for first 15 kms and then 2:08 for second 15 kms
Even though I feel like I am going slower in the second half... I always seem to be going faster averaging under 8:30/km.
10km splits were slow but 10-20kms was fastest followed by last 10 kms being about 2 mins slower- first 10 the slowest.
Knees were quite sore despite strapping, but I think this is going to be how it if from now on until race day. Lots of foam rolling going on and I am now booked in for massage and physio every week until we go.
Ice bath action at the end... not a lot of room in the corner bath.
Purple trainers for this run. Comfortable. I do find that my heels get a bit roughed up though and get a little calloused in these shoes.
