10 K's!!!! Haven't Run That Far In 6 Years........

Great run today! Got off the phone from The Master (Steve) and was inspired to go for a run. Jumped on the tready and pumped out 10k's in a time of 50 minutes flat!! I kept a 5min pace going throughout and did it surprisingly comfortably. My best ever 10k run was back in 2001 for 41:20!!! Long way to go yet!!

Last Monday I did simulated track running on the treadmill.

I did: 4 x 400 @ 14kph with 20 pushups and 20 situps and a 200m float in between

4 x 200 @ 14.5kph as above

4 x 100 @ 15/16/17/18 kph with 200 float only

All up it took me 45 minutes and I was knackered at the end.

6.5Ks for 30:54 last night..... I've been running on the tready at home most nights at about 10:00 PM. I get the kids in bed by 8.30 PM and then clean up a bit before pounding out the k's!! I split last night's run by k's and then 1/2 k's for the last 1500 metres. I've changed my wieght training around to do more traditional circuit work which gets the heart rate up for a longer period. I want to buy another punch/kick bag and get back into some kickboxing training. My oldest boy is on at me to train him so it's good incentive. Anyway, nose to the grindstone......

Running running running.....

Had a great week off work. Got in plenty of running on the tready and dropped a kilo!!! I even did a couple of Hill Walks on it which were surprisingly tough! I ran just under 40 mins for 8ks and under 18 mins for 4ks... Back at work now so I'll get back into running with The Master again whenever he can fit me in!!

Good luck on the Zoo Run Morsey!!
