Finally the rain spell has broken to give us great running conditions this morning. Frisky, cool with light northwest wind with humidity still fairly high at 80%. I ran to Collaroy for a 2 by 3km tempo run. Photo taken just before I set off this morning.
Just after I started, I noticed that my hamstrings and glutes were tight and painful, especially the left with clicking in the hips. I am hoping that the taper, which will start in three weeks time, will let all the niggles settle down. The target pace for the tempo run was between 4.45 to 4.57 min/km. I managed an average pace of 4.47 min/km - so spot on. Found it hard to push myself this morning but pleased with the effort when the job was done. Did not see too many runners out but there were big groups of cyclists whizzing past.
