Modern Era Townsville PB

Month - 78k
YTD - 178k

Geez the time has flown since the last post and I am struggling to remember what I did.

Anyway here goes a really brief summary.

Monday 17th - 6km at work
Wednesday 19th - another 6km
Thursday 20th - My Basic Fitness Assessment - to pass I need to do 30 pushups in 2 mins, 60 situps to a cadence and run 2.4k in 12.18.

Managed 50 p/u, 100 situps which is the max you can do and ran 8.29.

Very happy with my run result - 4.13 for the out leg (1200m) and 4.16 on way back.

This is my fastest I have done in Townsville since arriving back here in 2012. Very humid morning aswell which made it even more satisfying knowing that I could do that in the sort of temps we were experiencing.

Saturday 22nd - Parkrun - Just ran with the lead pack until 1500m to go and increased the pace slightly. I didn't want a serious hit out due to racing only a day or two prior. I was however very surprised that by the end that I finished in 20.57. Managed another win so that's 3.

Monday 24th - 7k (3.5k out and back) negative split by 40 secs around 4.30 pace.

So all in all a boring post but I needed to get this down otherwise I would of forget what I have done.

Parkrun this week will be a run with my son. I am on call for work and therefore need to have my phone attached to me constantly so, if I get a call at least I will be able to talk when running with my son. The best solution I guess, much better than doing nothing at all.

Anyway that's all

Happy Training.

Congrats on the modern era PB Shane. Looks like things are ticking along nicely. Bit of a shame you don't have tougher competition in the Parkrun. You'd need to be sub-18 to have a lonely run here.
