Back to the Central Coast for 30 km over a hilly firetrail in Ourimbah State Forest. It is a great training run for the Six Foot Track Marathon. The drive from home took just over and hour and combined with getting up early to eat breakfast meant a very early start this morning. The sun was coming up just as I turned off the freeway.
I was feeling relatively fresh and since I am not running tomorrow I wanted to go a bit faster on this run. Ran with Dave, Dave and Graham at a pace that was quicker than I would normally run on a trail. I thought I would hang and on see what happens. Chatted most of the way and got to the turnaround point in 1.32. Pretty solid running with a few walks on the steeper sections. I thought I would not be able to stay with them on the return but hung in to the end. Finished in 2.56, with an average pace for the run of 5.52 min/km and last 4km at an average pace of 4.35 min/km. Very pleased with the effort, but my feet very cramping and the legs were trashed at the finish.
