Feeling fresh - 11 k'er

As I mentioned in my previous post I haven't run since Tuesday last week. I was hoping to get out yesterday but a niggling headache just wouldn’t subside. Had the same niggling headache this morning but by lunchtime everything was right.

Straight after work about 4 pm I was in Fawkner Park warming up and waiting for the satelites to lock-on. Ran my usual Yarra route, a distance of 11.58 km in a time of 58:46 (5:04 /km). Heart rate figures (max/avg) were 165/136. I didn’t really push during this run, just a nice easy pace except for Anderson Street Hill towards the end. I couldn’t help myself, just had to push a little bit, hence the max heart rate at 165.

What a difference a rest makes. Very hard to explain or describe but I felt very, very fresh through out the run.

Details of this run can be found here at Motionbased.
