A few calculations last week determined my recent running. Not wanting to over do the training, and to give myself a chance to get ride of a niggling sore left glute, I only needed 75 kms in the remaining 5 days to get to 450 kms for March.
With Saturday always going to be around 35 kms, then only had to average 10 kms per day on each of the other 4 days to make the target. No more, no less.
Thursday & Friday, on plan, just over the 10 kms, nice & easy, nothing silly especially as they were both wet days.
Saturday, long run as planned with Jen & Michael around 11 of the southern suburbs of Canberra. Foggy morning, nice slow pace with a bit of altitude gain, but Ok. Again nothing silly.
Today, last Sunday of the month, race day. Central Curtin was the location around the 6.3 kms mostly on bike paths. Not my favourite surface, so I ran where possible on the grass edge.
Not really at competitive race pace, more a good jog around the course. Felt good.
Short run on Monday to make target distance for the month.
