Victoria Road 24K

1.59.18, 24K A bit warmer today, but managed to keep a steady pace.  However, was pretty done at 24K and called it a day, would have been perfect to do another 5k, but thats for another day now. Need over 26k on Sunday to hit the 100k weekly, will see if it happens.  HR 140/155. Activity/19705809

Splits: 1 – 29.23, 2 – 28.05, 3 – 30.16, 4 – 30.07

Recce: Sai Kung Mountain Marathon, first half.

2:18:08, 19K. Legs a bit taught fter LSD the day before, but got into a nice easy pace and enjoyed the course.  Actually nice to break down the course and see the distances at each stage. Such a great day, and the course actually seemed a lot flatter than I had remembered it, seriously think given same conditions I could do 1.45 on race day.  But perhaps I will pluck up the courage to do the full MM again.  HR 129/149. Activity/19417324

Splits: 1st stop – 37.58, Hoi Ha – 1:32.26

Victoria Road 27K

2:13:44, 27K. Wonderful cool weather, but perhaps a bit sluggish on first leg.  second, third and fourth laps really rocking and enjoying the pace.  Last section a bit slow, but an increase in distance and pace, so overall quite pleased.  Music was a big help, will do this from now on for LSD runs. HR 137/154.  Activity/19293620

Splits: Lap 1 – 29.26, 2 – 28.25, 3 – 29.57, 4 – 30.00, final 3k – 15.53.

Victoria Road 24K

2:11:04, 24K. Victoria road, 4 laps. Started ok on this very cool day, first 2 legs almost at 5min/k pace.  But struggled over 3rd & 4th laps, at least finished the course but am hoping a little endurance will start to kick in soon, otherwise no KOTH full marathons this season.  HR 129/145. Activity/18684780

Splits: Lap 1 – 30.20, 2 – 30.43, 3 – 34.30, 4 – 35.29

LSD – Vic Road – Aberdeen Reservoir

2:13:22, 20.5K. Started OK on Vic Rd & kept steady, but really slowed second half and splits are pathetic, warm weather not really an excuse – but most important is to do the distance and accomplished that.  Hopefully will reap benefits later. HR 131/150. Activity/17572658

Splits: Vic Rd 31:53, Aberdeen path to reservoir 1:01:36. Pagoda 1:36:31, Gate Pokfulam reservoir 1:57:23.
