Week 26 - Half A Year Gone
Distance: 2,248.7 km in 26 weeks at ave 86.5 kms ( up from 86.3 kms at week 25)
Last week: 91.35 kms
Altitude: Garmin - 81,970 metres in 26 weeks at ave 3,152 metres ( up from 3,137 metres at week 25)
Strava: 85,070 metres
Last week: 3,545 metres
A couple of good hilly runs of 27 kms & 23 kms making up the bulk of both distance & vertical. The weather has been very kind as we enter the second month of winter. No snow on the local mountain unlike this time last year when they were covered.
Even today, we had a top temp of near 15 degrees, so take 10 degrees off for altitude, still well above freezing on Mt Wellington. Still plenty of winter months to come.
First six months in review. Distance would be tracking above long term average, but not by much. Altitude, on the other hand, is absolutely miles ( or metres) above average. I've focused on this for this year hoping it will pay dividends later when I will do a couple of longer races. I have even ran five Parkruns recently in an attempt to retain whatever speed I have.
Overall, a good first six months.

You're going well Steve and the parkrun times are excellent. Good luck with your climbing goals for the rest of the year. Keep lugging those rocks up all the mountains down there.
