Mon 22 Oct 07, morning run in the city

21 degrees at 6:30am in Melbourne is rather unusual and low teens by lunchtime..strange day. This morning I was on the Tan just after 6:30am, wearing my HRM I ran gently for 3km at 4:55-5 min pace and with my HR only getting up to 148 when I ran the final 150m along Anderson St, the majority of the time my HR was 140-145bpm.

Excluding the first km I ran from the Pillars upto the 1k marker and back to the Pillars for ease of the session. My next 3km were run in 4 min 30 sec (158bpm) and then 4:02 & 3:58 with my HR sitting in the 165-168 area. I then finished off with 2k in 5:05 & 5:15 to finish off.

The on the grass at work, the Plank for 1 min, Oblique Plank each side for 30 sec, Plank 1 min and then Oblique Plank for 20 sec each side. This wasn't as easy as it used to be. Finished off with 5 min of leg stretching as my legs were feeling quiet heavy today & tired.

Good workout Stu. Good to see the core stuff coming back for your 8/15.

21C feels cool after 31. We had the same thing today - much cooler and pleasant for running.
