Step-back this week on the plan. This is apparently a mini recovery week in the middle of a training program. Slight difference this week - suggested a test 10k race on Sunday but I didn't manage that. Ended up doing Saturday and Sunday runs slightly quicker than desirable though.
Back in Auckland from Thursday so my runs were in slighty warmer conditions compared to Taupo.
Thursday - 5.55km (plan said 3 miles or 4.8km) / 24:40 / 4:28 min/km
Friday - rest
Saturday - 10.81km (plan said 7 miles at PMP) / 51:03 / 4:43 min/km
Sunday - 16.43km (plan said 10 miles or race a 10k) / 1:26:23 / 5:15 min/km
Too quick on the long run this week. Incidentally I did the One Tree Hill route again and there were quite a lot of runners around at 8am in the morning. Not suprising this area is very popular its like running through a postcard :)
Week 7 beckons and this is where things start getting serious and the km's start ramping up. Thankfully the mornings are starting to lighten up can see a few 5am starts to fit it all in.
I find the pace will slow up a bit when the weekly distance goes up. Is that normal?

Not surprising at all, though it won't slow too much if you're going slow enough to begin with ;)
Things get fun when the long stuff starts! Nothing like a good long run before work!
You're still cranking out a fair old pace there Aaron!
I can only dream of your slow pace!
