Perth Half was run in quite wet conditions this morning and was pretty happy with the time of just under 1.31.56 which was faster than I was expecting.
Ran with Craig for the first half in very even splits and then thought I had a chance of doing sub 90 so went a bit quicker for about 1-1.5k before deciding that I was being stupid by pushing myself too hard and so settled back to a more reasonable pace. Craig caught up quickly and then we settled down to running at about 4.20 pace for most of the remainder of the race, although he did seem to be doing it a bit easier for most of that portion and had to hold himself back, so thanks once again for running with us.
It was great seeing TB out there doing a good time and also knowing that he'll be out there once again for the Perth Marathon. Also good to see Jackson and a couple of guys from work before the race.
Week in Summary 101.15k @4.43
Mon pm 14k100m@5:00 Recovery type run
Tues pm 11k@4:51 Run in Kalgoorlie, would have liked to have run more but was warned by the locals not to stay out for too long after dark. Was also pretty tired from a 4am wakeup with little sleep to get ready for Kal.
Thurs am 14k200m@4.45 Nice run done at 4.30 am before early morning start, run in skins and wasn't as cold as was expecting, really nice time to run.
Fri pm 16k100m@4.33 Bit slower than marathon pace run, although I did run some at mara pace.
Sat pm 10k550m@4:55 Recovery type run that incl hills.
Sun am 21k100m@4:21 Perth Half
pm 14k100m@4:55 Recovery type run
Now is the time to start easing off the km's as tapering begins, will also try and run at least one tempo style run with a slow 30k run to be done on Sun.

I presume you didn't run the Perth HM at all out effort (1:31 is slow for you haha) What's your target for Perth Marathon? sub 3:10?
Hold on: HM in the morning and 14ks in the afternoon?
I was going to ask the same thing as Widi - looks like you're about to set a new PB.
Take it easy now and make sure you've got something in the tank for the day.
Hey guys
Sub 3.10 is the aim provided everything goes to plan. Yesterday was not a full out effort.
Looking forward to the taper, did the 14k pm run as I was hoping to do 35k in the morning but weather was pretty bad
based on that Half time the sub 3.10 is there for the taking!
see you there at the Perth 42.2
