The Running (B)log of

1:29:12, 15K. Medium paced effort, but unable to really get going, cannot expect a pb or even seasons best every time anyway.  Need to keep an eye on right calf, last two days some mild tension there, only starts halffway through the run.  Probably at the edge at the moment, may need to back off a little. HR 142/161. Activity/19529267

Splits: Bowen Road: 5.33 (5.27) (5.05), Wanchai Gap: 22.44 (22.25) (20.52), Peel Rise: 46:37 (45:53) (42.19), Steps 51.26 (50.39) (46.44), Top of Steps 59.02 (57.58)  (54.16), Pokfulam reservoir gate 1:16:00 (1:14:10) (1:09:18) Best time, Tuesday 26 Oct 2004, 1:21:52. Seasons best Nov 03: 1:27:12

1:27:12, 15K. First run of the year of this route, fairly aggressive attempt although HR wouldn’t betray that.  Some way off the all time best pace, but not in that shape (yet?).  Trail running not as fluid as I would like, but road section not so bad, may be on the threshold of a performance increase. Should take easy tomorrow and only a few intervals on Thursday before 15K race.  HR 140/153.  Activity/17882607

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
