Rainy City to Surf Training Run - 15ks


Stark contrast to yesterday and with plenty of rain it meant only 7 of us for the midweek run up to the top of ‘Heartbreak Hill’ and back. Joined by Brendan (Trigger), Hipster Mitch, the Branagan Brothers (Mark and Super Kev), Jac and Hoey (once he was persuaded) we set off at what felt like a more gentle pace.  Once at O’Sullivan Street (5k marker) I upped the pace and with everyone else deciding on keeping an even pace I was solo by the time I approached the base of the hill.  Tried to work it all the way to the top and was happy enough to complete the 2k section in 8.08 (4.04 pace).

A quick regroup before the return that felt easy enough until the dreaded Double Bay/Edgecliff Hill section that always gets the heart rate back up, before getting back with another 15k in the bag for the day in 68 minutes.

Pleased to get out on the course once again, with everyone starting to look comfortable throughout the run.

 

Will be back out tomorrow for the HuRTS standard session 6 x 1k reps.

 

Cheers
