The last 2 weeks have been really good showing the benefit of consistent running.
Both March & April were disrupted by many & varied outside events. Now that not much is happening outside of work & home, it allows a routine.
The benefits of strength from the hills and the endurance from the distance running have had added benefits as my training pace has also improved.
At this stage, I've done no specific speed work except I try to run the gentle down hills as quick as I can.
A long run of 72 kms over most of the AnzacUltra2015 course last Saturday was great. No problems from the run, the next day off just to consolidate the training. At the moment, all good.
Another couple of specific training days coming up in next few weeks in June, then in July & August will able to ramp it up.
