HuRTs fartlek

The miserable, stormy morning in Sydney fortunately cleared up by lunchtime. just in time for the HuRTs 45min fartlek! Somehow I managed to sneak it in between back-to-back meetings but felt significantly better for it.

The fartlek is 1min on, 30sec off for 45minutes. Run out from St Mary's towards Walsh Bay and turn at 22:30. The aim is to run at 10km pace on the "ons" and slower on the "offs", and to make it back to the Stone Gates at 45mins (i.e. keep a consistent pace out and back). It's the first HuRTs session I ever did and probably still my favourite.

I ran with Sam the whole we - he is really strong and just dropped me at the end. We were keeping between 3:20 and 3:30s in the efforts. We got 12.17km, which is the furthest I've ever done. Total of about 15km for the session. Very happy with the day's work.

Now for the Muzz's welcome home dinner!
