Nutshell

AM
9km - 42:02. Wenty Park.

PM
20km - 88:20. Around The Bay with Copey and Daniel, started slow but finished strong.

Looking back at the weekend, Emma and my respective tempo's sum up our Gold Coast preps in a nutshell. Emma with a very patient and well planned prep has been going since November and hasn't missed a single run, let alone a key session. I've rushed a 14 week prep and have only completed 2 key sessions and missed a heap of running. On Saturday I killed myself to run my initial target marathon pace for 6km's whereas on Sunday Emma managed a controlled 24km's 21sec per km faster than her initial target marathon pace. There are no shortcuts to success, but I'm pretty sure we already knew this.
