Results of the latest (2nd) 3 km time trial are in. times are the 1-km splits for those that need the decipherin'. I think they know who they are.
May 6: 3:52, 3:52, 3:54
May 28: 3:48, 3:52, 3:52
Actually, I thought it had been a month since I did the first one. A bit silly. I better wait a full month now until the next one.
Anyway, not much progress to be seen. The weeks since then (including the May 6 week) have been 69, 46, 91, 85 (if I do the expected 25 tomorrow). That awful 46 km week happened because I had a weekend that was beset by work and weather and brewing that conspired to stop me running on either the Saturday or Sunday. A very rare event. That resulted in me going into the next week rather fresh and racking up the 90 km. I can't really expect much progress on the back of those numbers, but the regular aerobic runs of 15 km have had a bit of quality about them and are setting me up to handle increased frequency and distance (like he 17.8 km at 4:27/km I did today). After that the results should start to come through.

About Me
- Stephen Lacey
- Born in 1963 under a camphor laurel tree beside Bilambil Creek, I now live in Tokyo with my Japanese wife and three sons. I started running in 2002 and my addictive personality soon clasped this foolish pastime to its bosom. I am also an enthusiastic amateur brewer and have won a few competitive home brewing awards in my time. Diagnosed with non-Hodgkins lymphoma in 2015, today I can no longer run, and my blog posts are more likely to concern the waxing and waning of my condition.

Well, I'm not going to argue that there has been progress.
Rack up 4 weeks of 90+ with some quality and we'll see how you go. You're a tad short of Hosaka's 224k per week and two speed sessions per day ;)
Enjoy the 23C weather tomorrow - we're down to less than friendly single figures.
18k at 4:27 is pretty damn good. I didn't know you were in such good shape these days.
Looks fine Stephen. Are you starting to build for a fast fall marathon?
If it gets too hot over the summer to run you can spend some time bush your cat's teeth.
Ewen can keep his single digits to himself!
