I had Christmas day in my mind as a milestone approaching the Marathon on April 16th. This has been my loose date to go from general running for fitness to focus on speed and endurance. Usually Christmas Day is stinking hot but this morning it was cool with light rain. So after we had exchanged presents I ran down to Heffron park and did five laps of the 2040 meter course. My times for each kilometer were, 4.45, 4.14, 4.31, 4.24, 4.16, 4.17, 4.34, 4.18, 4.32, 4.07. This was not to bad at 42.38 for 10km. Which would be 178 mins for the marathon. I hope to run this circuit at least once a week to check my progress each week. Ideally I will get this time down to an even 40 mins for 10k shortly.
