Time to taper

Only 2 weeks to Perth, so now my official taper begins. Nothing really exciting to report from the running front, other than its been a solid week of training, hamstring that was playing up earlier in the week has progressively got better each day.

Week in summary 101.4k@4:21

Mon 1 hour run 13.6k@4:24

Tues 11.4k@4:36

Wed 8.1k@4:19

Thurs 18k@4:18 Was meant to be a tempo run with Biscuitman and Simon E, howver hammy was a little sore, so instead took the opportunity to do 8k@4:10 after warmup and then good cooldown with Biscuitman and Simon E. Biscuitman impressively did a 8k pb, so well done, looking good for GC.

Fri 10k@4:08

Sat 30.3k@4:22 Long run with Biscuitman, a little quicker than i was intending with perth only a couple of weeks ago but we seemed to cruise and hover around this pace the whole way. Also ran with Sandgroper for the first 5k of our run but he wasn't feel too great so turned around, hope you're feeling better soon. Ran in my DS Racers which felt great and try some gu chomps which weren't fantastic but were more palatable than gu's for me, may take a pack with me for Perth as well as some snakes.


Sun 10k@4:12


Congrats to TB and Kathryn on birth of their second bub, glad to hear all is well.

Congrats to Sling on a 10k pb on a training run, well done mate, sets you up nicely for your marathon training.

100km all around that 4.15-4.20 per K mark. Should be well and truly ready to go. Great week! with some good training mates too, especially Simon E. who has been around for decades in Perth I think, and with a sub 2.50 in Melbourne last year has the right pace to take you to another level (if you hadn't already progressed enough) Two weeks of taper time ...

A very solid last week of training! Enjoy a well deserved taper.
