My first run since City to Surf this morning.
I think I need to do some more research into my training routine. I just tend to run as far and as fast / slow as I feel like, apart from the specific intention to run long - slow - distance on Sundays.
So this morning I ran 7km in 35 minutes. That was pushing it fairly hard! I use my Forerunner to set the pace, but then I purposefully set out to get ahead, only to slow down at the end and finish in line with the average pace. Surely I'd be better off setting the pace and sticking to it!
Anyway, everything feels fine - no sore joints or muscles. So that's good.
It was so cold again this morning and I think I'm still catching up on sleep from watching the cricket on Monday / Tuesday - so it was a bit tough to get out of bed. I'll see how I feel tomorrow morning. Hopefully I'll be right for another trot, then a long run on Sunday.

There's lots of training programmes around on the web that you can use as a guide. When I did the SMH half I used a Pat Carroll programme that I downloaded from the Gold Coast website. Gave me a good mix of runs and built up to 2hrs long run. There's lots of others out there though and lots of ideas on the CR site.
I'm using the Pat Carroll marathon training program for Sydney - I'm not good at working out these things for myself. I'm also trying out the advanced intervals option on the Garmin after work today - should be interesting.
