This week marks the most total kilometres that you will run for the week and also the longest run that you will do in your training before the Central Coast 10k and Half Marathon.
We are back to 800s on the track, after a shorter track session last week. It’s not too late to come along to Mingara Athletics Track on Wednesday at 5.45pm to join in on the session if you haven’t already. I’d love to see you there and to meet you.
Keep up the good work.
