Thanks Sady, I have done so in the past, well the heart rate anyway. I havnt tried the blood pressure 1st thing, but a little Tell is if after laying diwn and then standing up, if you get a bit dizzy, then your pressure is a bit low. It seems ok, i’ll keep track, if i remember… .Wed, still sick, more so in the morning. Afternoon, turned up to training 1hr early, and planned on doing a solid 1hr of tempo, followed by 1hr of running circuits. Three kids, oldest sick with ear infection from swimming was going to stay in car and rest and look after 2yr old who was sleeping. 2yr old got woken as we arrived, he was pissed off… so 50min later of settling him down i could then get back to training… ahrrr.
So ended up doing 50min of tempo, (including warm ups) 20*200’s in 35sec with 35sec rec. Heart rate around 140-150 so nice and aerobic. Had about 2min rest after 10.
wore racing flats with innersoles, much more comphy. But serious lack of grip on the grass.
Heat wasnt too bad, by the last say 3, the humidity started to trap body heat a lot and make things ugly a touch.
Oh, might need to organise a few races leading into the marathon. In 2months there is a 10km run as part of a Triathlon with some prize $$, so another 10km and half marathon would be good.
