You've got to want, you've got to need. But most of all, you've got to put in the hours.

I liked this quote from Ewan. Its pretty cool. Anyway...

Mon: 14k in 1:19 (5:28) Home to Chatswood. Up through Manly Dam, Across Roseville Bridge. Some big hills and legs were tired.
Tues: 8k in 41:25 (5:23) Around the city. Just a recovery run. Legs tired.
Wed: Corporate Cup in 23:45 and a fast point! Very happy to get a fast point in hot conditions. Splits were: 3:47, 3:58 (7:45), 4:13 (11:59), 3:45 (15:44), 4:19 (20:03) and 3:43 (23:47). Went out at a good clip and faded in the last 2k, but had a go I guess. Last straight done in a slow 53 secs.
Thur: 10k in 48:24 (5:03) Anzac Bridge loop. Feeling good.
Fri: 14k in 1:08 (4:51) Wooloomooloo and back. Fastest I have ever done this one and comfortable as well.
Sat: 10k with a 5k Threshold in 21:41 (4:07) NB CR 5k Challenge. Really tired legs on the warm up, but they came good and was nearly right on the desired 4:08 pace which felt pretty good.
Sun: 29k in 2:23 (4:59) 3 laps to Shelley Beach and back as I didn't want to be too far away from Mrs Hamburglar who is due tomorrow. Warmed into this one. Legs were very tired and I didn't feel like going back for two more laps, but I felt better as the run went along. The 4.8k splits to Shelley were done in 24:33, 23:34, 24:04, 23:28, 24:13, 23:22. The outward journey was into a strong headwind which can be seen in the splits.

A total of 93k and another week of perfect training for me i.e. big k's with a speed session (race), threshold session and a long run. After a pretty big block post sixfoot, I am stuffed. The legs feel tired yet strong at the same time. A planned easier week this week which hopefully will see a brand new burger in the Hamburglar family. Fingers crossed.
