Today's run was Ridley-Holland-Margaret Dr approx 14km. The weather was cool especially after a heavy downpour in the afternoon. I was planning to do a very slow comfortable recovery run enjoying the cool weather and music, and also gave my calf sore muscles a break. Since my speed box was out of order, I decided to maintain HR of max 152bpm thru out this 14km run. And with Sundown this Sat, definitely a slow comfortable run would be ideal.
Started the run accordingly to plan for approx 3km and was running with Julie. Along Ridley I felt my tempo was good and with a very comfortable pace (HR showing 156-158bpm) running along side with Julie who was picking up her speed a little bit; decided to hung on to her pace of probably 5.5min/km. Noticeably this was not Julie's usual pace for weekday training or any training for this matter, she normally run faster than this, so mercifully I could hung on to her pace. Pacing with Julie was always good as hanging on with her speed, I always end up achieving an excellent workout. While running on Margaret Drive, Julie suggested to run on the Park Connector and this was my first time. I found it more interesting and safer running Connector route than running along the boring Margaret Drive.
At the last km along Henderson Rd, we increased our speed and my HR was above 164-166bpm. We finished the run at 1hr 24min according to my stop watch. So sorry to my calf sore muscle that did not have a break and thank to Julie for a good run!!!
