Pre Dawn Tempo
Tempo Run: 9K, 3.5K Tempo in 17 minutes. 53:30 Overall.
I got to bed at 9:30 last night to get up at 4:40 for a tempo run. I went through the first 3.5K with the dogs, so it was very slow. I did the same 3.5K loop again quickly as the tempo section of the run and finished off with a 2K cooldown jog (ha ha: cooldown at 5:30AM in Windsor - it's cool enough already).
It was a decent little session, and my first attempt at running before driving to work from Windsor. I don't think it had any affect on my working day, and the run was actually pretty good. If I can get to bed early enough on the previous night I think this is a pretty good way to go.
Now, having finished my first week of work I can say I'm very happy with the new job so far. The days are long but the work is interesting and varied and the working environment is good. I'm confident I can keep training adequately without losing the plot.

Very impressive Ben.
Your dogs are very lucky . . . although I imagine that pre dawn in Windsor is similar to pre dawn in Canberra, so maybe you should think of it as a "warm down".
Congratulations on your first week at work. I hope that it continues to go well.
Well done Ben. I'm very happy to hear that your new job is going well and that you managing to squeeze in the training....but Windsor at 4.30am - yikes !
