Another record week!

Right, I'm chuffed to report on the fact that I've broken another record on furthest run, a whopping (in my opinion anyway) 17 KMs yesterday! Whoohoo. And eventhough I was really done, like reaaaaallly done after the 17KMs (it took me 1:50 mins) I still feel pretty good about it. The Holy Schedule prescribed 2 hours of running, and in all honesty I should be doing 20 KMs in that time, but am not yet managing to do that. Hips and feet were aching, but come March 14th, I think I'm good for the distance. My good buddy Jopie is doing 16 KM in 1:25 minutes so he's a shitload quicker than I am at this time. But oh well, as long as I make the finish of the half marathon, and preferably within the 2:30 mins I'll be happy.

Two other runs this week in Dun Laoghaire (pronounced Dun Leery) in Dublin, Ireland. Very nice scenery along the coast there and I was lucky to have nice weather there the three days I was over for business. Here are the two runs, both slow and more recovery type runs, partly on the pier which was right in front of the hotel I stayed in:

Dun Laoghaire - run 1
Dun Laoghaire - run 2

In week 7 I ran 46 KMs in 4:44 mins, at an average speed of 9,7 KM/H, an average distance of 11,53 KM and an average heartrate of 149 BPM. Nice! And building confidence for the upcoming race!

This coming week another intense week: tomorrow a 75 mins run, more Interval on Thrusday, a 40 mins run on Friday and 105 mins on Sunday!
