I saw a galah nomming on clover. He was all like, What?

Distance: 14 km

Time: 1:37:29

I took it nice and slow this morning, bearing in mind that I’ve increased my mileage this week about 100%. I didn’t really pay much attention to the run. It was easy, thoughtless and over before I knew it. Podcasts are great for long runs because music always seems to grate on me after a while, or it makes me go too fast. My long slow run pace is at least a minute per km slower than my race pace, and I hit it squarely today. My average was 6:58 per km, and my heart rate hovered around 144 bpm.

I don’t know what else to say about today’s run. I wasn’t sure if I was going to make it, but the distance capability is there even though I haven’t used it in a while. Next week I might try for 15 or 16, but I’ll see how I go.

  1. What sort of podcasts you listen to on your run?

  2. At the moment I'm listening to Smodcast, the Nerdist podcast and Radio Free Burrito. It's a whole lot of talky stuff that I can just focus on and forget about the running.
