Today’s run was supposed to be a relaxed and easy longish sort of run. Why a longish sort of run, I’ve got no idea, just felt like running a longish run on flat after yesterday’s hill effort at the You Yangs. All day today, whilst at work (was a public holiday here in Melbourne) I felt energy sapped and yet still wanting to run.

Early on in the day I decided that I’d do an out’n’back course along the Yarra and the turn-around point would be at the 45 min mark. Well, this is what I did and started off at slower than 5 min pace but eventually ‘pace creep’ kicked in and before I knew it I was subbing 5 min pace and late on for a 2 km stretch the pace was around the 4:30 something per min.

Even though I averaged at 4:49 /km I felt very comfortable with myself, that I hadn’t really exerted myself, though I was glad when I was at the top of Anderson St Hill (I maintained pace up the hill) as then there was only 1.5 km to go.
