I ran part of the route I did on Sunday this morning. It's fairly flat and runs along a creek so it's a peaceful start to the day.
I intended to run for 17+ minutes, turn round and complete 35 minutes in total. But I was so close to the end of the trail that I went a bit longer on the way out and ended up with 40 minutes on the clock. I'm not sure of the distance - hopefully 8km, but I think less.
It's still tough getting out when it's so cold, but it doesn't take long to warm up and I'm running fairly smoothly now so that's enjoyable. I should probably be pushing harder - no pain, no gain and all that!
I'm supposed to introduce some hill training so I'll have to figure out which hill to choose so I can run there to warm up, do the reps and cool down on the run back home.

Sounds like a nice run this morning Nottslad. Next Striders race is Lane Cove. Your hill work will be a good preparation. :)
I know I said that I'd do the last Striders, but I think I have a better chance to attempt the next event at Lane Cove.
A bit more time to prepare and it sounds like the hilly course will be a better indicator of my preparation for C2S.
Congrats on your PB, Gronk!
