Long Hills.
TUESDAY 5/4/05, 6.15AM- 18K- WEEK SO FAR 28.5K
Went up to Hornsby to do some long hills on the Quarry Fire Trail. Warmed up by running the 2K from the station through drizzle and 15 C temperatures. Galston Gorge was full of mist- quite a sight. Got 6 hours sleep and felt quite a bit better than yesterday, which is logical I suppose.
I ran from the Stewart Ave trailhead to the bottom then up the other side to the top of the main climb on the west side, then back to the top of the main hill on the east side. The western hill is long, but has quite a few flattish bits, so I then did 3 reps from the top of the eastern hill to the bottom and back up- a 2.2K roundtrip with 140m of gain and descent. Averaged 15-16 minutes for each of these. Then ran back to the station.
Wasn't pushing it- just wanted to run it all and get the legs working a bit.
Next time round (probably two Tuesdays from now) I'll make an effort to arrive a bit earlier and should be able to fit in 6 reps of the eastern hill on the Quarry Track.
TUESDAY 5/4/05, 12.45PM- 10.5K- WEEK SO FAR 39K
17 C and humid. Ran from the office to Dunbar, 5K barefoot and back @ 4.50min/km. Calves were a bit sore after the morning's exertions but they got better once they warmed up. Wasn't anywhere near as much of a grind as yesterday was.
