Touching Base
Melbourne Marathon is now four weeks behind me. I'm finally started to feel recovered. No speed work for me still, rather just building/maintaining the base.
Mon - no watch 10k
Tue - rest
Wed - 14k
Thu - 17k
Fri - 14k
Sat - 19k
Sun - 11k
85k all up. Most of the runs were at Noosa so not exactly sure of the distances, so they are rough guesstimates. I forget the pace etc of each, it was a bit of a mix. Nothing too fast or stressful though.
***********
Ramped it up a bit more this week just gone ....
Mon - 17k easy
Tue - 12k firm
Wed - just over 15k @ 5:25s in the morning. Cool Night Classic in the evening - 1k warmup then ran 'steady' for the 5.75k race (time 28:30). 22k for the day.
Thu - Ran the 5k to PCRG where the session was a 50min run plus the 1k no watch. 16k all up.
Fri - 10k jog
Sat - 18k Green Bridge loop (av 5:15 pace)
Sun - 5k at BRRC as part of 3 x 5k relay. 22:44 which was a bit slower than I hoped for. I felt good but not good enough to go faster if that makes sense. Followed it with a 4k warmdown. A very easy 7k jog later in the afternoon to bring up 16k for the day.
All up 110k for the week and not feeling too fatigued at all. Gotta be happy with that :-)

Great too see you're doing nicely after Melbourne Tesso. :)
Nice recovery Tess.
Hmmmm, PCRG, does that mean you're back in Brisbane Tess? I'll be up there for a workshop from Monday-Wednesday, will you be around one morning for a run?
110k? Now I'm jealous.
By the way, forgot to say, nice work on the k's! I think I'm averaging about 10 km a week at the moment.....
Very solid. Lokks like you are not just recovered, but back in full training. What's next?
Data: "feels like she is recovering".
Diagnosis: "needs more parties".
Remedy: "Have another big farewell party and follow Kelley to Canberra where we party all the time; it keeps us sane".
(I am as sane as the next person. Unfortunately, Tesso is the next person)
110k in the off peak period? hmmm, somebody's got some serious plans happening.
btw, Yes to VG being our new staff member, how about that for small world.
A-waowa-ow... A-waowa-ow...
:)
Thats some good steady weeks of base building. well done
Wow 200km in 2 weeks and you're still in recovery mode...WOW, miles ahead of me, well done!
I haven't visited for a bit, I have been a bit slack with my blog reading, too much time spent working, running & coaching, little time reading or socialising.
Good to hear you are doing well!
WOW 110k!! You are certainly right back into the swing of things now. You wouldn't be training for Kurrawa by chance?
I timed my run for the Cool Night Classic perfectly this year. By the time I got to Riverside, there were only people in chicken suits and really slow walkers to contest with. With those barriers on the path in front of the apartment blocks, it must have been a tight squeeze when the main field went through.
Wow, that's some kms. What's next then?
Excellent recovery Tesso. You certainly clock up the K's. I don't know how you do it.
welcome back!
hey i saw a tesso look-alike on the weekend.
looked so much like you i nearly called out 'tesso!'
so there are now 2 owens and 2 tessos :)
cu on the road sometime!
thanks Tesso, you're right i probably do tend to think about these things more than i should.
110km...Now that's real scary stuff, Tess! I know, you don't want me to pass you in Canberra!!!
110k for the week! What are you training for? Is is this your version of recovery after the Melbourne marathon!Sorry...I'm just jealous!
And I'm glad you enjoyed Costa Noosa!!!
Thanks for your comments my way. Great recovery running and around Noosa, good combination.
Wow still knocking out the big K's!
I am flat out to hit 50 atm.
Hope you have been travelling well and that all is good.
