Miserable morning in Sydney town today although the slight drizzle actually made it a pleasant change to run in. Met Enda for a quick chat as he was leaving the park before deciding on doing the old favorite that is 2 x 6k Woollahra loops.
Dilly Dallied around for an age before actually getting into it and soon settled into a decent pace working under 4.30 pace, seem to struggle up the hill and came around for the first loop in under 27 minutes. Made an effort to up the pace on the 2nd and then tried to push it harder up the hill ….. unfortunately the only thing I felt I was pushing was a Grand Piano as I seemed to struggle even more, although I was moving at a faster pace to be fair. Managed to get to the top huffing and puffing like a bloody steam train and was glad to get to Paddo gates and finish it off with the last 500m coming downhill.
12ks in 52.02 average pace 4.19s
1st – 6k in 26.26 (4.24)
2nd – 6k in 25.36 (4.15)
Looking at the times it wasn’t too bad although it was certainly tougher than what I had planned and there wasn’t much left in the tank.
Tomorrow I might stay in the park and do a dreaded hill session with City to Surf fast coming around.
Cheers
