Easy miles (maybe 8:40pace or so?) through Hyde Park, Domain, Botanical Gardens, and Opera House, Circular Quay. Dont think I'll ever tire of this route! And a beautiful morning. Some days running is just such a beautiful gift.

The fascia pain in my foot from yesterday is mostly gone. I think my frugal self just has to accept that i cant go putting 400miles on my mizunos like i used to. Stretched my calves as well and that helped a lot.

Penny, I saw your question in the discussion forum. You definitely have plenty of base in place to run a sub 90 half marathon.

I think the most useful thing to add to your regular running is sustained tempo runs. You are shooting for 6:50 pace, so I would add miles at that tempo into your workouts once or twice a week. Start out with one mile, then increase as the weeks go by.

It the most, 2-3 weeks from your race, I'd do 9 miles at your goal pace. It's a good confidence builder, and will give you plenty of time to recover.

Good luck with your assault on the 1:30 barrier.

Thanks Kam. Thats actually really helpful!! I think I will do that - stay on around this mileage (it may creep up to 50ish doing tempos eventually anyway), and start adding HM pace miles once a week.

Thanks!!
