My tentative goal for this year is to shave off 9 minutes from last year's time, which was 68' 14'' (The winner, Martin Dent, did it in 41' 12''). It is a big ask. My weekly regime for achieving this goal is as follows:
- At least two easy runs to enhance my cardiovascular fitness and correct my body posture, transforming my body into a lean, efficient oxygen engine
- Trim down to my ideal running weight (which is around 56 kg)
- One fairly difficult hill run to strengthen my leg muscles, i.e. do the round trip circuit from Macquarie Park to Epping train station
- One interval training to improve my pace
- One resistance training session to boost my upper and lower body strength
- Enjoy each training session as much as possible, always keeping in mind Polar's motto: "Listen to your body".
