Big improvement in Harriers run last night; and lung function not too bad

Posted by antracing , 24 May 2013 - - - - - - · 24 views

At last, a good run at the 6km Independent Way, it just felt good, it seemed like lots of downhill and not so much uphill; which means the smaller rises didn't bother me at all.  Even on the steepish uphill I didn't get busted back to a crawl.  So I did 6km in 34:12 which is pace= 5.43 and average speed 10.5 km/hr.

Compared with the 6 km last week...

Good day out with Harriers on Sunday; mixed results at home

Posted by antracing , 20 May 2013 - - - - - - · 56 views

Good day out with Harriers on Sunday; mixed results at home TRH ran our annual run on the Boolarra-Mirboo North Rail Trail, with 2 distances of 25km and 10km.  I have previously enjoyed the 25 km run, last year I did it at a pace of 6.30, av speed 9.0 km/hr.  I missed it in 2011 due to surgery and did it in 2010 probably a bit faster.  This year I am not doing so well, so I did the 10km for the first time.

I took...

Running ticking along; cold starry owl night

Posted by antracing , 08 May 2013 - - - - - - · 59 views

Running ticking along; cold starry owl night Last week I ran 36 kms and YTD = 384 kms.  So far this week I have run 15 kms and will do an 8 km run once I log off here.  The Harriers run last Thursday was a bit of an improvement, pace was 5.33, just need to get closer to 5.00.  TRACS gym going nicely, just as well I didn't tell my ex-employers in milking to get &%$ed as they are often...

Slow improvement in running, Beauty in small things

Posted by antracing , 04 May 2013 - * * * * * · 157 views

Slow improvement in running, Beauty in small things Last Thursday night's club run at the Tennis Courts was a bit of an improvement, did the 5 km in28:15, not as good as the 26 mins I'd like but way better than the 30:18 of the week before.  It is fully dark for these runs now and my lights belt, with white in front showing the way and red behind warning vehicles I exist, is still going strong on its...

Running tip from gym boss; big w/e bushwalking and cycling

Posted by antracing , 29 April 2013 - - - - - - · 54 views

Running tip from gym boss; big w/e bushwalking and cycling I was running on the treadmill at the gym and Tim, who runs TRACS, suggested I carry my arms more up, as if I am nearly punching my chin each time they come up.  This raises the hand a bit higher than the heart which apparently reduces the effort by the heart a bit.  I have been trying this over the last couple of weeks and it seems fine.  Tim is a very...

64 km ride very hard work, the running and gym seems to be going well

Posted by antracing , 24 April 2013 - - - - - - · 116 views

64 km ride very hard work, the running and gym seems to be going well The ride to Cheynes Bridge was as hard as I remembered, the Paradise Valley/Montana Caravan Park hill was a mere secondary effort compared to the horrifying Blanket Hill.  Of course they were lovely to zoom down but the uphills were big.  And as usual Vance got me to be leader which meant I lost face on the return ride when in the last 12 kms I could...

TRH Springwood 4km run goes well; a good week

Posted by antracing , 20 April 2013 - - - - - - · 54 views

Well today we had the Harriers Springwood run near the Golf course in Crinigan Rd Morwell, so a good hilly spot.  Lovely cool running conditions.  I ran the 4km in 26 mins which was 2 minutes slower than last year, but last year I was a bit fitter.  So a nice result.  The men run 2 laps, ie 8 km and Trevor did well in 42 mins.  The winner was an eye...

Getting my mojo back; closing some doors and moving on

Posted by antracing , 17 April 2013 - - - - - - · 148 views

I have been running so inconsistently that there has been nothing to report.  Hopefully that is now remedied and I'll be getting back to regular running.  Today I ran 9.9 km in 1:27, yesterday 8.76 km in 1:20.  Tomorrow is the Club's Anzac Day run.

Last week I ran 16.68 km bringing YTD = 285.9kms.  Only way to go is up.

Closed doors : On Monday...

Slow start to year, at least ran 5 times last week

Posted by antracing , 01 April 2013 - - - - - - · 92 views

Slow start to year, at least ran 5 times last week It seems to be taking a long time to get 2013 organised, thus road trips etc have stopped me doing consistent running.  Last week I ran 5 times, total 22.7 kms, YTD = 245.3 kms. Same time last year I had done 334kms, and in 2011 398 kms, that's a problem.

Hopefully in what is left of this week I can do a few runs and gym sessions.  Tomorrow is not...

At last - a run that went better than expected, lovely cold conditions

Posted by antracing , 29 March 2013 - - - - - - · 188 views

At last - a run that went better than expected, lovely cold conditions Our Club run on Thursday was at Newborough track, a chance to see what your exact 5km time is and nowhere to hide.  I had zero expectations as I have run so little in the last 4 weeks.  All I have been doing regularly is my weights sessions at the gym with a little work on the stepper or treadmill.  So to do the 5 km in 28:38 was actually good, as was the...
