Rest
Tuesday
AM - 60mins hill reps - 6.66k
My 10k pack (amazing how light it feels now!) & I headed for a couple of hills near home at 4.30am this morning for lots of hills reps. Walked to the start and then did a 'ladder' set of reps (i.e. going slightly further up the hill with each rep) walking strongly up the steeper of the two hills with my pack. Once I'd done a complete 'set', I walked around the corner, dropped the pack on the footpath & did a 'ladder' set running up the second (slightly less steep) hill. Then it was back to the steep hill for another ladder set walking with the pack & then back to the running hill for final set before walking home. Tough session !
PM - much needed massage.
Wednesday
AM - 45mins bike session
Included 2 x 10mins @ 70-75% MHR, big chain ring & high cadence. Had great difficulty keeping my HR low & cadence high in that gearing.
Thursday
AM - easy 30mins run - 4.15k - av. 7:15m/k - av. 140 BPM
Easy & quite a confidence booster actually. Saw signs that the great HR experiment may finally be paying some dividends... (touch wood !)
AM - 60mins strength session with PT
A really tough session - by far the hardest I've done with him since we decided to ease it back & just focus on my problem areas a couple of months ago. Could quite easily have curled up under the desk & gone to sleep afterwards. Shame my client's wouldn't let me :-(
Rest day tomorrow before a 4 hour hike (with 18kg pack) on Saturday then the Canada Run 4 Cancer 10k fun run which I plan to do at LSD pace - and pancakes - in Canberra on Sunday morning. Unfortunately I won't be in Canberra long enough this weekend to catch up with my fellow bloggers :-( (*waves*)
MTD:
Bike - 56.97k
Run - 11.16k
Walk - 5.41k
Hike - 41.95k (with pack)

How many kg's do you have to walk with when you do the big trip?
A 10k fun run? Boy you've changed!
