A Week of First’s

Will do two blogs today to catch up with all the news firstly my run Last Friday was very cool. Focused on speed for the first time since started running and was really surprised with how fast I can know run. Normally just plod along at a nice easy pace not pushing myself to hard. On Friday set my timer for 6 minutes and planned to run 1K in the 6 minutes pulled up at 900 meters but was still feeling strong so took of again and managed 800 meters in the next 6 minutes before I had to slow down.

Managed 2.65K in 20 minutes the further I have ever run in 20 minutes. Felt great on Saturday was not sore at all and was really looking forward to my Sunday run.

Sunday morning got up at 5:30 in the morning and picked my mate up on the way to do the Bay Run 5K. I did it last week in 35:50 and was looking to better that run. We started running just on 6:30am and it was a really nice time to run the sun had been up for about 20 minutes so it wasn’t to hot yet. We headed out and I felt great really starting to enjoy my runs more than every before. Before I knew it we had crossed half way and I was still feeling strong. We had a plan to try to keep to 7 minutes K’s then pick up the pace for the last K. Ran under the bridge and crossed the 4K mark and then picked up the pace this is where I really struggle the last K but managed to cross the line strong (also managed to run past the line not just to it and Ray kept prompting me). Crossed in 34:49 a 1 minute PB left unreal didn’t even care that I couldn’t breathe who needs to breathe anyway. So the First’s

First 5K under 35 minutes.
First run in which I averaged under 7 minutes a K (6:57)
First K I have run under 6 minutes (Last K on Sunday 5:58)
First 100K clocked on my running shoes (101.9 total)

All in all I have had a great weekend and am feeling really confident for the run on the 17th September really want to crack the 24 minute barrier but would be happy with under 25.
