In the face of a poor overnight rain forecast, my riding buddy and I called off riding Friday afternoon and decided to meet at his gym at 6 am or so. I’m working on Sunday so decided to turn up a bit after 5 am, run 10 km or so, and meet him after that.Continue reading “Didn’t it Rain? Actually, it Didn’t…”

Rolling Back into it
Yesterday was the best I’d felt in over a week. Possibly the combination of coming out of Sunday’s hangover, some decent sleep and resetting the macros to get them right. Sleep’s still a little disjointed with the need to get up every couple of hours still there, but I feel I’m getting good quality sleepContinue reading “Rolling Back into it”
Hot Running
I took advantage of the public holiday and slept in. I felt sluggish on rising and elected to grab some breakfast and run later in the day. I ended up heading out to Pooh Corner at lunch time, which may have been an error. It was hot, with strong sun. I had intended to headContinue reading “Hot Running”
Saturday Morning, After the Storm
Brisbane had some storm activity early on Saturday morning, putting paid to any cycling plans I had. The back up plan was to meet my mate at the gym at 6 am. I elected to get up just before 5 am and head to Toowong and run in to the city along the Brisbane River.Continue reading “Saturday Morning, After the Storm”
BRRC 10 km – A Bit Worse
Brisbane Road Runners 10 km today – and I had a feeling it was going to be a bit of a struggle, with depletion and generally fatigue. 23.5 degrees C and 98% humidity compared to 22.5 degrees C @ 75% humidity a fortnight ago. I got out a bit hard and spent much of theContinue reading “BRRC 10 km – A Bit Worse”
Fat Adapting in the Heat is Hard
I got home from work to another hot afternoon and, grudgingly accepting I needed to get out and run, decided to wait until it cooled off a little, finally getting out around 4 pm at Pooh Corner. I intended to go a bit longer today but the legs were still dead and it was apparentlyContinue reading “Fat Adapting in the Heat is Hard”
Weights, a Run and Pilates
Pulled up a little sore from the race plus work yesterday, but nothing beyond DOMS so no particular concerns. Outside of the calves and some glutes stuff stood out. I had a Rostered Day Off today, so ran some admin and household chores before hitting the gym mid-morning doing my Abs, Back and (some) ShouldersContinue reading “Weights, a Run and Pilates”
BRRC 10 km
Started Sunday with the first road running race I’ve done in a few years. I rejoined the Brisbane Road Runners on Saturday afternoon which was probably asking a bit much of their membership system ahead of the first race of the year on Sunday. So I ran with the field, but didn’t really take partContinue reading “BRRC 10 km”
First Activity of the Year
Being mid-week and targeting the Brisbane Road Runners 10k event on Sunday I was looking to prove that I could at least run 10 km, and preferably manage an hour. I had managed to cover 10.5 km at 4:51 m/km pace back on December 24 during our Christmas stay up at Caloundra, running the flatContinue reading “First Activity of the Year”
