sport and performance

I would like to express my everlasting gratitude to Beki for pointing me in the direction of this site:

Sport and Performance

I should warn you in advance, the site has one of the ugliest backgrounds I have ever seen, and the navigation is, shall we say, less than intuitive…

Beki apparently got it to say she could run a 40minute 10k if she got her weight down to 52kg. Or perhaps it was the other round? Not sure. If I got my weight down to 52kg I’d probably die.

I plugged in my PBs into one of their calculators, only to be given a “diagnostic” of:

The performances are incoherent!

Well, maybe so, but there’s no need to rub it in. I don’t know why they felt the need to have an exclamation mark. It’s just mean.

Anyway, calling me “incoherent” is a bit rich, coming from a site that says, and I quote:

(*) A correct training allows getting homogeneous performances.

I had a bit of laugh though.

Running
Mid-week long run this foine morning (sorry for getting all Irish there). 20k along the Dandenong Creek trail. After yesterday’s dose of pre-race jitters, it was good to get a solid, hard workout in. It was run at under 4.5m/k pace, including hills and a stiff-ish headwind.

It had to be quickish, as I didn’t have much time to get showered, dressed and breakfasted and make the train. As a result, I sat on the train feeling slightly vomitous. (not sure if that’s a word)
