10km (14km with warm up/cool down)
46:20
Avg Pace: 4:38min/km
I don't think I would be able to hold this pace for 21.1km. I was aiming for around 4:40 which I'm happy to have held, but it seemed like hard work and I didn't feel like I'd be able to hold that pace. At least not today. So this run felt more like a tempo.
Had ART and needles in my calves. 75mm right through gastroc, soleus and into the post tib. Hurt a bit. Damien reckons I will feel pretty sore tomorrow from it which is why I trained almost straight after, probably not the best idea.
Got some slicks on the bike and it looks really cool and seems to ride nicely. Can actually stop now too!

15km Base Run
http://connect.garmin.com/activity/104836658
1:18:20
Avg Pace: 5:09min/km
Easy run, felt pretty good considering I ran 32k two days ago. Seeing Damien tomorrow as the hips pulled up pretty tight. Plan on seeing him fortnightly until the marathon, acupuncture weekly. Expensive but should get me to the line.

32km Endurance Run
http://connect.garmin.com/activity/104320034
2:48:52
Avg Pace: 5:16min/km
Starting to get towards the business end of training. Actually felt fairly good through this, stopped as often as I could to get a bit of water in, took gels at about 1hr and 2hr points. Slower k's were up the hills or when I stopped to get water and the garmin didn't auto-pause. A few strong k's towards the end. Had pretty tight glutes from the beginning which I put down to the 60km's of cycling this week. Achilles is feeling better, but still a bit sore after.

Mixed Intervals
Garmin 310 was working but failed to transfer data back home and then deleted my times - so I'm having a guess here. Seems like there are a few issues at garmin at the moment.
Mixed Intervals 2min recovery
3km: 13:00 (4:20min/km)
1.61km: 6:45 (4:12min/km)
1km: 4:08 (4:08min/km)
800m: 3:10 (3:57min/km)
I wish I knew the times more accurately, but I got the work done in much warmer conditions than usual and with a bit more fatigue in the legs than the last few weeks.

19km Uni commute
Just over an hour of cycling. Legs are tired. Will catch the train tomorrow and hit some intervals in the afternoon.

8km Recovery and 19km Uni commute
http://connect.garmin.com/activity/103538140
43:13
Avg Pace: 5:23
Did my first bike commute to uni today. About 19km return. So 35mins each way roughly. Decided to have a run about 45mins after getting back and I think I was feeling the fatigue from yesterday and the bike ride. Not a particularly enjoyable run today.
