The Running (B)log of

41.46, 5.5K. Super easy, feeling tired and back really painful – junk mileage in my book although others would disagree. HR 117/137. Activity/21788556

1:09:48, 10K. Good hash over Kowloon reservoir, running well too up and down hills.  Rolled out a little short however and had to tag on 3k at the end, boringly up and down a main road. HR 144/161. Activity/21586911

Wh3 1187 – 52.04, 7.2K

56:40, 8.5K. Good run, had to make a pit stop and lo & behold was beaten in by inflato – no worries as was running ok for the day after NY.  Trail up violet was useful training also for upcoming Lantau MM. HR 150/159. Activity/21422408

40:26, 7K. Another easy run, at least until Hatton (5,49) when I couldn’t resist turning up the gas to go past a cyclist.  Didn’t last long as eased off on down trail to xylo and coasted the remaining – legs 75%, can’t believe they took such a hammering on such a cr@ppy race performance. HR 132/150 (Wrong again) Activity/21206853

38:00, 5.5K. Super easy recovery run, legs not in good shape at all after 30K disaster on Sunday.  May need a couple of rest days, but will take decision on that tomorrow. HR 117/140. Activity/21141476

33:03, 5.5K. Super easy recovery run, legs shot to Hell after Sai Kung MM – hopefully back to more serious and particularly Lantau Peak specific training in the coming week before Sek Kong 30K on Sunday. HR 123/134. Activity/20812041

53.40, 9K. Supposed to be easy taper, but felt quite good, although did not go crazy. Hopefully nothing detracted from Sundays KOTH. HR 133/151. Activity/20642426

Splits: OPR – 18.39, Po Shan – 26.38, QM – 38.10.

41.57, 8.5K. Started ok but faded on 3rd lap & 4th was pathetic – too many late nights.  Also left hip  is still dodgy and needs to be kept an eye on. HR140/150. Activity/20276290

Splits: Lap 1 – 7.26, 2 – 7.11, 3 – 7.28, 4 – 8.40.

40min Approx, 7K. Started ok, but really felt t after 3k and eased off the pace.  Garmin going mental also. HR: 130/144 Activity/18365490

50:05, 8K. Not in the mood, energy down & legs just not there.  Felt tired the whole workout = junk mileage, better to cancel altogether.  At least broke in the new Garmin, but seemed to exagerate the length of at least two of the km splits!!!  HR 118/140. Activity/18053773
