Week 3 - Just Average

Running:  Year to date

Distance:   259.15 kms in 3 weeks at ave  86.4 kms ( down from 87.02 km last week)

Last week:  85.1 kms

Altitude:  4,871 metres in 3 weeks at ave  1,624 metres ( down from 1,709 metres last week)

Last week:  1,452 metres

A mixed week with a good long run ( 35 kms) on Saturday morning and a nice track session ( 9.8 kms at 4' 20" ) on Sunday afternoon.
In between, 4 days of less than 10 kms due to, too busy, a day trip to Sydney ( 8 km walk near the harbour) & a couple of very warm weather days.
Short term plan for early this year has changed with dropping the 100 km trail run in Canberra in early March for a 6 hour track run in mid March, also in Canberra.
The 100 km is almost the same as last year's except they are running the course in reverse with a few minor changes. But the entry fee has almost doubled.
I can run the course any time except it's mostly north side of the city.
The track run is part of a 48, 24 & 12 hour program so should be good fun afterwards watching many familiar faces going around in circles.
I need to get more speed into my running as well as increase the distances to be able to run without stopping for the 6 hours. Still plenty of time to be ready.
