With only one day between the Mt Rob Roy run and shortened Saturday morning run, today was more like a recovery Monday session.
Nothing to be gained & plenty to be lost if I got it wrong. So I jogged along at whatever pace happened at the time. The first 4-5 kms were very slow ( 6' 30" pace ) and I walked up a couple of short hills on my way home for lunch.
On the return, a better feeling resulting in a quicker pace but still only bringing to overall pace back to the final 6' 08".
All this doesn't matter as long as Saturday's run is a bit quality with the bit quantity.
With a 4 hour bush walk on Sunday, Saturday will be cut back to around 25 kms which will be enough with a weather forecast of 34 degrees in the afternoon.
Bogong to Hotham is now only 2 weeks away, so some tapering will need to be in place.
