32 km in 3 hours and out and back in the same time. I felt pretty good at half way then I turned around and I realised why....there was biiiiiiiiiiiiiiiig tail wind. Which meant a big head wind on the way home. I stopped a fair few times for water breaks as it was very hot and no cloud cover. Very happy to cover the mileage however and to get my second of three 3 hour run/jog's done. Also stoked to know for certain that I don't have a stress fracture in my shin as the pain almost went away completely during my run. Shin splints are manageable :)

6 km in 39:30 on road. Really really slow jog to stretch out my legs after yesterday. They need a rest tomorrow!

5 km in 22:31 on treadmill. Marathon pace although I am 100% sure that my treadmill is running too fast. Possibly by 1 km per hour. I don't think I could put together 8 of those runs non stop marathon day. At any rate it's good training. Next week I am to be able to run 10 km (treadmill) marathon pace. I'll aim to do another 5 km tonight in the same time.

5 km in 25:36 on treadmill. My shin was giving me real grief after 1 mile at marathon pace so I slowed down to an easy pace. Icing it up now!

 Happy with my runs today :)

10 km in 53:12 on treadmill. First 3 km @ 12kph then 2 km @ 10 kph, 1 km @12kph, 1 km @ 10kph, 1 km @ 12kph, 500m @10kph, 500m @ 12 kph then 1 km @ 13.3kph (mp).

 I did my best to calibrate my treadmill this morning and concluded that at 1 km per hour it is actually 1.7 km per hour. Interesting to know after having done 3 months of training on it!

First 6.44 km (4 mile) in 28:26 @ 13.6 kph. 13.3 kph is marathon pace. The reasonable tail wind helped the pace no doubt but I felt good. Mostly jogged back but made sure to sprint across the bridge, up the two big hills and the last stretch home. The headwind provided good resistance. Back slowly in 40:20. Happy with the run. Tomorrow a half marathon run at a solid pace.
