Tues - (AM) road run - 10.4km @ 4.43mins/km. Was mainly a jog with a couple of working kms thrown in at a better pace
Weds - (AM) 4km jog but tooo cold and tide was too high so cut it short
Thursday - (AM) gym - full body session again

Good week
Monday - (AM) easy 7km run @5.00/km (zone 2) of mixed terrain (road, trail, beach)
Tues - (AM) Gym
Weds - (PM) more slow stuff - 11km round Devo @ 5.10/km- again mixed terrain but not a lot of elevation (136m)
Thursday - (AM) Gym
Friday - (PM) 18 holes of golf (counts as a walk right?)
Saturday - (PM) trail blast up at long bay -combination of grass, singletrack dirty, gravel and a wee bit of sealed road. Beaut day to be out and about 10.6km @ 4.41/km. 220m elevation so grade adjusted pace lower at 4.24/km. Really enjoyed it -
Another cracking week. Easier runs but distance up a bit more to 30km now.
Monday - (AM) zone 2 waterfront jog with a mate from work 7.3km run @4.52/km. Didnt stretch well and calves were super tight, and the shins were a bit tender for the next day or so.
Tues - (AM) Gym
Weds - (PM) even slower than monday's effort - 7.1km @5.09/km also waterfront but in the other direction
Thursday - (AM) Gym
Friday - nothing
Saturday - (PM) wet day and was keen to ride in the forest but didn't want to spend hours cleaning the bike so trail run! Kinda just cruised around and went where the feet wanted to go, which was mainly up/down shitty trails that I don't bother riding, as well as some that I do that I knew wouldn't be too bad. 16km at 5.22/km and 380m elevation (GAP was 5mins flat). Felt good. And still felt good this morning. Can see myself in there a fair bit more without the bike.Week ahead will be less running distance but perhaps a bit of speed work. And golf....need some golf.

Well heres a change.... no more gym! Well not as I have for the past 5 years. Mates closed up his gym so unless I go join somewhere, I am off the weights for a bit. Not a major as havent been enjoying that much lately but would like it as part of an overall balanced fitness regime. Might just be running, riding and pilates for a while....let's see.
Anyway...
Monday - (AM) local jog close to home 8.5km @5.06min/km. Mix of pavement, trails and beach.
Tues - (AM) Gym
Weds - (AM) waterfront CBD run 7.3km @4.41min/km. Super windy but got it done.
Thursday - (AM) Gym
Friday - nothing
Saturday - (PM) Trail run out in the forest. Aim for a couple of hours and ended up running 20k so added a wee bit more to complete a half. 21.1km @5.24min/km and 514m elevation. Grade adjusted pace was sub 5min so that was pleasing. Was 50/50 mix of pine/gravel forest roads and pine/mud trail. Pretty dam slippery in parts - great fun.
Sunday - nothing. Spent 10mins on the foam roller but legs felt pretty good after saturdays effort -
Shite first week without gym! Got sick at back end of the week and noticed it on thursday morning when I wanted to put down some decent pace and there was pretty much nothing there. Will be a quiet week ahead before easing back in to it when I feel right.
Monday (AM) - easy jog 6km@5.13min/km, (PM) Pilates - gee I felt that for a few days
Tuesday (AM) - another easy job 7.3km @5.00

Sunday - had planned a longer trail run but cut my toe somehow in a weird spot and needs some time to heel) -
Pretty much a running week. Not much else. A good focus on slowing down though
Tuesday - 7.6km CBD(foggy&dark) run @5.02min/km
Thurs - Another 7km of fog @ 4.45min/km
Friday - 6km @ 5.49min/km - a garmin suggested workout and perhaps the most boring run of my life
Saturday - 14.6km of local trails. Much more fun. Muddy, wet and just cruising about through the local parks and trails 288m elevation @5.54min/km. All while listening to the AB's vs Fiji. Not bad.Oh I forgot I trialled a new gym on Monday. Had a week pass but I realised within about 5mins that it was shite so plodded my way through a 30min workout then told the staff member that their gym wasnt for me. Havent had a follow up call or email come to think of it, so I must have been fairly convincing.

Finally getting some desire to get some weights back in my life. Summer is coming and this running is making me too skinny, despite all the crap food I eat. Haven't weighed myself for about 2 months. Kinda scared to actually!
The week gone
Monday - AM 6.6km CBD @ 5.18min/km, PM- Pilates
Tuesday - AM 7km CBD @ 5.09min/km. Wasn't a good run. Made a late decision to do some intervals (10 x 30seconds on / 90 seconds recovery) but really wasnt feeling it. Ended up doing 8 of them but all pretty slow and took an easy jog home in the wind/rain.
Weds - day off
Thurs - AM 8.442km CBD @ 5.00min/km (conscious effort to keep the pace slow and steady), PM- Pilates

Keeping myself accountable

Fri - PM - trail run on the way home 6.5km at 7.05min/km and 250m elevation. Was actually a lot quicker in parts but was in the road shoes and found a couple of troublesome mud bogs which turned into 10min kms.
Sat - 4km walk with the wife
Sun - AM road run round the lake 10.5km @ 4.40Body's feeling good. Never really thought Id be running this regularly again without issues, and actually enjoying it. Sure helps going slower and I'm noticing how much lower the heart rate is now, on all but the hilly hard runs.

Monday (AM) - easy road run 6.2km @ 5.30mins/km
