Week 2 Training for 1/2 Marathon

Well - I've finished week 2 of the training (skipped week one as there isn't enough time B4 the race, and I can run it comfortably any way)
Week 2 required me to do 2 x 5 kms runs and 1 x 8.5 km long run.
Forget the 8.5 km one - I ran 12kms instead! Why? I guess because I can, and I can't see any point in starting off with a lower mileage than I'm used to.

I changed my long run day from Sat to Friday as I had the opportunity to run down at Glenelg on Friday as I was down there for work. I ran to Brighton and back, and then worked out how many more kms i had to run towards West Beach to clock up the 8.5 kms on returning back to Glenelg. Did this - but as I reached Glenelg I thought I should probably run a bit more and round it up to 10 kms - as I have run this quite comfortably in recent weeks. So I ran on again towards Brighton, using my Garmin again to guide me as to how far to go/when to turn around to end up back at Glenelg with a 10km distance. But as you know, I can't help but challenge myself - as I approached the home base again, I thought - Why stop at 10kms, I know I can do that, this training is meant to be about extending yourself - so you guessed it - I kept going for another 2 kms to round it up to 12kms

Time - 1hr 16 - a PB for me, but potentially it was even better than this, as in the last km my Garmy lost satellite reception and stopped recording. looking at my 1 km splits afterwards showed a steady 6:10 ish pace, with a 7 something pace recorded on the last one - I'm slow, but never that slow! It even told me that my maximum speed during that last km was 894 km/hr mmm - just call me speedy! Anyway - I've never run 12kms continuously before - even when I ran the City to Bay I had scheduled but small walk breaks, so this is a great achievement for me.

Of course I then followed this up with a Masterclass at the gym the next day 3 tracks from each of Body Combat, Body Pump, Body Attack and Body Balance - as a demonstration of all the new releases. It was long (1.5 hours) and high intensity, and I LOVED IT! At long last Body Attack has come to our gym, and classes start in a week - YEAHHHH - it is very me - I love the high energy aerobics stuff. Can't wait. But as a consequence of this I can barely walk today!
Have had to swap my run days around again (I'm always doing this) to give me a rest today.

Here's how the week is shaping up for me:

Monday - AM 5 km run
PM Combat

Tuesday - AM5.6 km run
PM - Weights

Wednesday AM - Walk
PM - RPM

Thursday REST
PM weights

Friday - AM - 12km run

Saturday - AM - Walk

Sunday - AM - Run 5.6 kms
PM - REST


I 've had to modify it already due to two trips to Adelaide - so we'll see how many more modifications I end up making!
