LSD 16K

LSD in the early morning 7am,well it is early for me considering i normally do my run in the evening. What is LSD? Long slow distance. Run at a comfort pace without having much target on your timing. 16km is my longest LSD ever. Never done this before although i did participate in Malakoff 26K back in Penang a while ago which is longer than a half marathon. Participate without proper training plan. This time around, i'll try to have a better timing.

Putrajaya Night Run can be consider as my first run with proper training. Not really. This last 2 weeks supposed to be tapering week where you cut your mileage rather than accumulate the running mileage. I've been missing from running session for the whole post week exam period. More into cycling during that time. Might be putting some entry on my first long distance ride on some other entry.

This is the longest boredom of running experience i've ever experienced to be honest. Running in circle for more than 20 rounds on the same tarmac, pounding and pounding all the way. My usual running spot, Taman Tasik Lakeside. Was considering going back and forth to the Uni, since i could bump into the hilly up and down road. Nah, by the time i go up and down i would already be fried up. Having tattoed like arm as Tim Commerford is not something i'm longing for.

To my surprised, i did approximately 16km in 1:34:51. That is like 5:54min/km. Never expect such outcome anyway. If this how i would perform during the Putrajaya half marathon, i might break the barrier of clocking within 2:05:00. Not much expectation for the run on 06/02/10,just targetting to be below 2:15:00. I know,i'm not a fast runner. Here's my half marathon training plan, sponsored by Google.
