Week Three concluded by running 12.1K as part of the Skeena River Relay. I was supposed to run 12K on Sunday so when I was asked to run on Saturday, I figured I was just running the distance one day early.
I was very pleased with my time which was about 73 minutes. I have now completed four races each longer than the last one.
Cannery Run 5K 6'25"/kilometre/
PR Half Marathon 8K 6'32"/kilometre
Glory Days 10K 6'09"/kilometre
Skeena Relay 12.1K 6'02"/kilometre (based on 73 minutes which is not the official time)
Even though I am not working on speed, I am getting (ever so slowly) faster. This is a pace that definitely gets me through a half marathon in under 2 hours 15 minutes.
And when I finished yesterday, I had no trouble maintaining a fairly normal conversation (no breathlessness) and my legs felt fine. Still not sure what 21K will be like but I am not worried about 15K. I also suggested to Leslie that we should form a Learn2Run graduates team for next year's relay.
Earlier in the week, we ran 7.4K on Tuesday and about 5K on Thursday. On Wednesday, I went to the Gym for the last time until the fall. With running outside three+ times a week, I haven't been going often enough to get my money's worth. I visited the pool for the first time in a bunch of years and they have a decent gym - especially cardio stuff which is really all I care about. I am thinking of getting a punch card for crossing training during the summer.
