3 x 5k : 21.08 : 20.46 : 20.43

The program said 24 minutes @ 4.15 per k and then 24 minutes @ 4.10 per k - that is on and under 3 hour marathon pace - not that I expect to run that fast but a good training goal. How can you work that out so opted for the 5k course around the Bay.

The weather had some patchy clouds but a strong wind.

Again thought I would struggle to run the pace and took it steady in the first run with a 4.22 first k which required a bit of a push to finish in the time I did. Pushed on in the second one for a better than expected one. Decided that a 3rd could be done but fully expected to die however managed fairly even paced run for the fastest of the day.

It a tough session but one I have found is a great foundation for a marathon.

Nice reps Ray with that strong wind this morning.

A fine effort Ray, considering the way the southerly was buffeting us this morning.

You are going from strength to strength and soaring like an eagle Ray. Keep it going and who knows what you will achieve in Canberra.
