Corporate Cup: Run 2
Corporate Cup 'Week Two' results are out. I did this one backing onto two 'hard' training days, and I certainly felt it. I had to work MUCH harder than the first run (avg HR 177!), but my time certainly didn't reflect that... 15 seconds slower!
Next time I'll do it fresh just to make sure I am actually improving!

Corporate Cup: Run 1
Corporate Cup run one was last Wednesday. My aim for the run was to beat my best 4.5km time from 2009 (23m02s) and I did that with my official time being 21m09s (it's likely my marathon training has contributed to this significant improvement!)
My perceived effort for this run was about 80-85%. In the final 1.5km when I realised I'd safely beat my 2009 time I backed off a little, but still gave it a nudge over the last 200m.
