5 weeks to go!

85.5km this week in 4:48 average.

Felt pretty heavy in the legs all week, essentially did no quality work, just plodded through.

Mon 11.25@ 4:48
Tues 10.17@4:59
Wed 10.32@ 4:57
Thurs 10.66@4:53
Sat 12.94@4:50
Sun 30.18@4:39

This mornings run was the exception. Rob & I went out intending to do 24k at MP. My legs were still heavy so we started off pretty slowly, but gradually wound up the pace. After a first 4k at about 5min/k the remaining 26 were at 4:36's average. A few stretching stops for Rob's hamstring were the only interruptions. I felt pretty good at the end although the legs were beaten up a bit, and I declined the cooldown jog with Rob and headed home for an afternoon of gardening.

30k run with 26 at MP - bit of a confidence booster!

I would have thought so.

Hope you taper/rest up well and have an excellent race day in Canberra, cos if you do we could see something totally sizzling from you and Clown...

I second the motions that (a) "you guys are on fire!" and (b) sub 3.15 is a definite possibility!

Way to go!
