Well, after feeling really lazy yesterday and sleeping in, today I too felt lazy but managed to roll out of bed about 7am to head down to the Torrens. Starting from Lower Port Rush rd I ran up the south side of the torrens for about 10k then turned around and ran back to the car along the north bank. I must say all those short ups and downs can get quite annoying. I hit a bit of a wall at about 17km after picking up the pace after the turn around walking quite a bit over the last 3km and finishing the 20k in 2hr26min. Hopefully the HM will be a bit easier as the Garmin (though rather dodgilly) has an average uphill away from town and downhill toward town (the direction of the HM). I am definately not used to seeing so many other people out on my long runs, walkers and bikeriders mainly though I did see about 6 runners, 3 passed me, though they looked pretty fresh and I was coming up on 18km.
So now, I know I have the endurance to go 21km, I think I will work on speed over the last 6 weeks before my first HM, Hill repeats on Tuesday! (well, I'll see how I pull up after todays effort, maybe just 30 sec reps up a slight hill to start with)
