Run Ben Run!

Welcome to Ben's running blog. Mainly I'm a runner - I muck about with swimming and riding a bike. This blog is about how I train and how it relates to the rest of my life.

: Name: Bennyr; Location: Homebush Bay, New South Wales, Australia

My name is Ben and I'm a slow runner. I run because I love running. It is a very personal sport: I train to my own targets, set my own goals and I can finish in the bottom 10% of a race and be utterly chuffed with my result. I post on the Coolrunning Australia website (www.coolrunning.com.au) as Chunderbolt.

A bit of everything

Thu AM: Ride, 25K in 1:10, slow and steady.
Thu PM: Swim, 2000m in 1:00, Continuous slow swimming in a 50m pool.
Fri AM: Run, 8K in 45 min. Ave HR 145.

Thursdays ride was a catchup on the one I should've done on Wednesday. Just a token effort, really.

I wanted to get my big swim in a 50m pool, so since I worked in Lewisham yesterday I dropped in at the Olympic pool at Homebush Bay and pushed out 2K in the competition pool (the one they used during the Olympics. Felt shitty at first, but I got into it.

It was hard to get going for the run this morning (not surprising backing up after a two-session day), but I pushed out 8K without too much bother.
