Head cold and slight thigh strain earlier in the week made me back off on the intensity this week as I aimed to keep the weekly kms reasonably high. The weather Thurs-Sat was not conducive to running particularly quick as was quite windy, showery and surfaces nice and slippery, running was very even throughout the week. Very happy with efforts.
Week in Summary 106.5k@4:36
Mon 9k@4:46 Easy run
Tues 12.1k@4:36 Easy run
Wed 13k@4:41 Easy run
Thurs 7.15k@4:28 Was still working at 3am, so pm run done with laps around the oval with 5k@MP
Fri 14.25k@4:31 Laps around the oval with 6K@MP
Sat 14.5k@4:33 Must remember body glide for the nipples, forgot and it poured down, ouch.
Sun 36.5k@4:35 Long run with Craig. Pretty even running throughout with very quick stretch break at 19k and 30k marks. Piriformis was sore from early on today and ITB bit sore from 28-30k, patt strap put on and instantly solved. Left Craig at 31k mark and thought I may struggle mentally, but a different route and some music made the last 5.5k fly by and felt great in those last few k's and at the finish. Was tempted to push onto 40k but as the car was there decided to stop.
Another 100km week planned with greater emphasis on MP , maybe a tempo or interval run thrown in as well.

Well, another nice week for running coming up. A bit nippy in the morning, but it'll be much better than the last part of last week.
If we keep on going the way we have been, we are going to have a good time in July.
That's a humungus long run on Sunday. What a confidence booster.
Well done on finishing the extra kms this morning!
Full marathon distance next week???
That's another great week. I think you are right to focus on some more marathon pace running in the next couple of weeks. Wishing you continued good luck.
