Saturday 3rd October - Rest Day
Sunday 4th October - 20.5k run
Was a pleasant long Sunday run, was at a comfortable steady rhythm and managed to get out fairly early to avoid the worst of the heat.
20.5km 4:34min/km 1:33:45
Monday 5th October - 1km swim
Late night swim after going home to catch up with my mates on Skype.
1km 28:00min/km 28min
Tuesday 6th October - Track Session
Went to the Uni track in the morning, did 1200m as a warm-up before doing 3x200m sprints followed by 2x400m and then 1000m jog to finish. Every time I go to the track and do sprints I always get amazed by thinking that the pace that I run flat out at over 400m is slower than the pace the top marathoners maintain over all 26.2 miles, I don't know how they do it, but I wish I did...
My times were fairly consistent, 32 seconds for the 200m sprints and 1:15 for 400m, before doing the final 1km in 4.14.
Wednesday 7th October - 10.8k run
My regular 10k lap, almost, I missed a turning as I tired towards the end. Was my fastest pace for a 10k not in a race, 42:03. I'm hoping to take another minute or so off that time in the next few weeks.
10.8km 4:12min/km 45:19
Thursday 8th October - Rest Day
Friday 9th October - Race Day 8.6km in Altea
A blog on the race will follow, was a good course with a good backdrop, I'd definitely go there to run again.
8.6km 4:05min/km 35:09.
