Friday Fartlek Run: Steady Plus 80min
Race pace for events longer than half marathon distance for most athletes aren’t run at threshold pace but instead a touch lower with large portions of the event done at Level III. It’s important to expose the body to training at this level of intensity. This is a great workout for someone training for a half to full marathon (whether part of an Ironman or 70.3).

When not many old people run the Canterbury Half Marathon this is what happens Certainly did not expect an age group win (women's 60-69). Wine and commemorative glasses woohoo. I'm not really a wine drinker, but I think I can make an exception Later I'm sure the wine glasses won't mind being filled with dark beer . I'm pretty stoked actually and my time wasn't too bad. . Thank you @videotestimonials .co.nz for kindly taking the first picture in this post on my cell and for the wee chat. . #winnerwinnerchickendinner #agegroup #agegrouper #canterburyhalfmarathon #pegasus #athlete #triathlete #duathlete #keepinghealthy #keepingfit #fitover60 - 2 weeks ago
After a good number of leg reps in the gym yesterday, I gave myself permission to run at a pace that felt comfortable in the park run this morning. My legs had felt a bit sluggish in the warm up. So off we go. I didn't feel like I was smashing myself (absolutely gasping for air). My glutes feel strong and I remind myself that this is the benefit of doing workouts like yesterday. Long story short, today was my fastest time since getting back from holiday at the end of October. That was a pleasant surprise. . Photo credits - 1 week ago
I did a short recovery run at Hagley Park this morning and stopped to capture a few photos on the way. My legs feel pretty good. I kept moving as much as possible after yesterday's half marathon to move any lactic acid. Last evening I did mobility exercises and massaged my legs. I'm sure that contributed to them feeling good this morning. . . #hagleypark #christchurch #recoveryrun #park #runinthepark #nz #newzealand #runningterritory #travel #travelphotography #travelling #athleteonholiday #runner #running #qwikkiwi - 1 day ago
Better late than never! Arrived home from road trip (drove 1500km all up), got washing out on the line, sat down for a cuppa & had an unplanned nap , checked glasshouse - thank you @lfet22 for looking after it - picked lettuce and strawberries plus a couple of cherry tomatoes, got dried washing in & then thought shall I leave my run till tomorrow #storyofmylife . No I'm going to do 30 minutes. Drove to #henleylake and enjoyed a run in my endurance pace zone. So glad I got off my a** . . #lateeveningrun #trainingrun #run #runner #running - 2 weeks ago
Hot run this morning with a few spots of rain. Thank goodness it was cloudy! Running into a strong northerly wind at times made me work hard. Red faced at the finish. Time for a soak in a bath of Epsom Salts before heading to work. . . #longrun #endurance #athlete #triathlete #duathlete #keepingactive #qwikkiwi #runner #running #run #runtraining #womenrunners #consistency #consistencyisthekey #oldandfit #fitover60 #keepingfit #redface #challengeroth - 1 week ago
Race day yay Well I am pleased with the result. I got a long run done last Tuesday and I had planned a short run once I started my road trip south, but that didn't eventuate. I didn't stress about it. I thought I'll walk if I have to, but I'll start and I'll finish. I did walk at the drink stations. I could taste the salt from the sweat on my face, so I drank electrolytes and tipped water of myself to cool off. It was very hot and windy. The tail wind was helpful but I found it - 2 days ago

I did the Blenheim park run for the first time yesterday. It's run along a sealed pathway starting near the heart of Blenheim and following the river on and out and back course. I returned later to get these images. . . #blenheimparkrun #blenheim #parkrun #qwikkiwi #athleteonholiday #instatravel #athlete #triathlete #duathlete #keepinghealthy #keepingfit #fitover60 #oldandfit #maturerunner #womenrunners #consistency #consistencyisthekey #riverside
