Jonathon's Racing Attacks and Adventure Packs!

Amazing racing and training adventures on roads and mountainous/hilly TRAILS, freewaybikehike and triathlons. Dreams of a SIX FOOT 45km finish,(DONE 2011,2013,2014,2015!),then ULTRA-TRAIL AUSTRALIA (50km DONE 2016! 100km DONE 2018!!!), memorable Melbourne Marathon and Gold Coast racing. Over a decade dreaming of a SUB 3HR MARATHON, sub 18min 5k, sub 38min 10k, sub 90min Half marathon etc...(shattered? or still realistic?)

As of October 2022; 37 road marathons finished (Perth x14, Melbourne x9,Perth City to Surf x7 Gold Coast x3 Rottnest x3 SunsetCoast x1)
Have also finished 20+ ultra races; 6 inch 47km ultra finished 12 times, six foot 45km ultra 4 times, Ultra Trail Australia ultras 2 times, Truth 50km ultra once within cutoff (and once outside cutoff), Lark Hill 50km ultra, 6hour track race, 24hr track race.
Also completed the Bloated Goat 31km (1500m Vertical gain) 2 times which is similiar effort to a 46km ultra.
DNFs in UTA100km, WTF50miler, WAMC40miler race, Truth 50km, Six foot and 6 inch.
The first 3 DNFs were after covering more than 42km, and with Truth one was a 25km DNF and the first one I finished the full 50km but was 19minutes outside cutoff battling an ankle injury for 36km.
In road marathons 3 DNFs one at 23km in the 2008 Melbourne Marathon due to severe ankle injury in the first 1km, and PC2S @ 30km, also 2022 Perth Marathon at 37km too fat and slow

ATTACK 10km REPs session III and easy run.

Thursday 30/3/06
PM Reffed a couple of basketball games. Took it easy didn't run any harder than necessary, used it as a rather long recovery session...

AM; Ran excellent 10km reps sessio with the total time being 40min 53 + rests. Heart rates 177-192... Left early this morning to try getting to the track by 7am to beat the heat a bit. Ideal time is 6am or even 5am, but 7am was at least better than the 9-10am sessions I have been doing lately...My 4th rep I think I hammered the finish a bit too much, and when I got a 192 Heart rate I decided it was time to get the shirt off (to keep the body temperature down, and slow things down a touch. This proved to be I think the way to go, especially as my legs felt like lead balloons on the last 2 reps. Feel like I really worked hard on this session and attacked it in a sustained manner throughout. Easily the best reps I have done this year. I was within striking range of my PB for this session (which is 39min 58, I did this in April 2003), but just could not quite hold onto the required times after the first few reps..If I keep improving like today chances are my 41min PB for 10km race will be breakable... Improved almost 2 minutes on the last time I did this session in February this year(10/2/06 to be exact) So it was tough but extremely happy with this one...

Wednesday 29/3/06 Ran an easy 6km or so, in 33min, with a little 1km surge in the middle of it. Used the Hull Park course...
Just trying to "clear away any fatigue cobwebs" from the 5km Ladder yesterday...
