Solid run with Sleep Train in the National Park. Ran the first 4 repeats uphill averaging about 3:40-3:50 pace and on the turn around I averaged 3:20-3:30. Waited for the change to come to drop the temperature down from the high 30C's but no such luck. Started feeling cold and shaky during the last 10-20mins which wasn't good.

am) easy 7k (0:35)


saturday:
am) long run 35k (2:50)
Ran down to Penrith and ran out to the Lakes before a lap of the river and back home. Ran a few kms at marathon pace but found it hard with the humidity and heat as it continued to build up through the run.


sunday:
am) fartlek 11k
Tired of running slow today so fought for a slightly faster pace around tempo effort.


total: 141km running
