Week 34 & Tapering Begins

Running - Year to Date

Distance:  2,943.5 kms  in 34 weeks at ave  86.6 kms ( up from 86.5 kms last week )

Week:  88.65 kms
Month:  460.9 kms  in 23/26 days at ave  20.04 kms per run day

Altitude:   56,383 metres in 34 weeks at ave  1,658 metres  ( up from 1,638 metres last week )

Week:  2,323 metres
Month:  8,739 metres in 23/26 days at ave 380 metres per run day

Two rest days in past week due to rain & partly planned anyway meant a big drop in kilometres run.
However, metres of elevation continued to increase as last Saturday was the last of the big training days with 41.75 kms of distance and 1,720 metres of up hill.
Probably knocked a little bit of freshness out of me, but those rest days came in handy. As sometimes happens, today's short run was terrible with no rhythm. The strong cold southerly wind didn't help.
Now inside two weeks to go before heading out on another long solo run in the outback of Australia.
We are at the tail end of winter, but really would like some warmer days, sunny & dry.
All good, now tying to put on some weight, taper & freshen up.
