Week 46 - Nicely Maintaining Averages

Running:  Year to Date

Distance:  3,841.8 kms in 46 weeks at ave  83.5 kms ( up from 83.4 kms at week 45)

Last week:  87.9 kms

Altitude: Garmin - 137,350 metres in 46 weeks at ave  2,986 metres ( same as week 45)

Last week: 2,983 metres

Strava:  140,011 metres

The week has seen no real change in both distance & vert yearly averages. Ran on 6 days & a controlled power walk last Monday as a recovery day. Weather was spring like on Monday then proceeded to go back to winter as the low pressure system rolled in with strong southerly winds & showers.
Consequently, there were no mountain running days to the summit as conditions all week were very " unfavourable". That's run speak for miserable with below zero temps, strong winds & some snow. So stay away from the high parts, and do a few repeats of local hills as is necessary.
Highlight of the week was a return to Parkruns after missing a few weeks. Ran an all time Pb on a new course as my usual Parkrun was cancelled to the area was taken over for army training exercises.
This one is dead flat at sea level but on concrete bike paths. Normally, my Parkrun is on an undulating gravel surface and around a minute slower then on the concrete.
At some stage, spring weather will return but it's meant to be summer in a week. Better hurry up or we miss out all together.
