Lunch Run
5K @ 7:00 pace again today on my meal break.
Did a repeat of Monday logging another 4.8K on the backyard trail after work. Recovery was a float in the pool with a cold one.
The past week...
Monday June 15 - 21K at BV with Grant , Raj and Patrick. Around the usual 4 hour mark. Weather was fantastic for mid June started around 09:00 am @ 8C ending around 13:00 15C.
Friday June 19 - 6.4 K on the backyard trail followed by a hammock session. Still coolish temps in the mid teens at 16:00.
Sunday June 21 - 9.6K at Sauble - Looped 2nd Ave and the beech working on some faster pacing on a flat hard surface followed by a slower pace back on the beach then repeat. Started super rough walking the fist K...suffering the effects of loading the knees doing Firewood for two days during the week. Once I got moving I picked up the pace , checked the watch it was a 6:15 ish pace held it for a K or so then backed down. Did it again after a beach return and logged a K at 5:50 pace. Gradually working toward 10K @ 6:00 pace without too much effort.
Monday June 22 - TWO runs, 5K @ 7:00 pace on the treadmill at work over my meal break then right after work at 16:30 a 4.8 backyard trail run followed by a recovery float in the pool.
