8 x PRECINT 1, PUTRAJAYA

Tuesday, 15 February 2011 (Public Holiday)
Another of my favorite workouts revisited.
I used to go 12 x Precint 1 "massive round-about", which measures 3.5km each (i.e. 42km) in 2005/ 2006, while embarking on my journey to Ironman Langkawi 2006 & 2007.
Target for the day was to run 6 rounds in slightly under 2 hours with negative splits (i.e. going faster each lap). That would be 21km in the bag. Started at 7.45 a.m. and would get pretty hot by the time I finish.
By the time I got to the 4th lap, I started thinking of adding another 2 rounds as "bonus". Had a packet of Power Gel in the 4th lap and another at the end of the 6th. Went on to redeem my "bonus" laps to wrap up the day's work with a satisfying 28km run in 2:35:32.
Splits:-
Lap1 20:33
Lap 2 20:15
Lap 3 19:46
Lap 4 19:16
Lap 5 19:15
Lap 6 18:56
Lap 7 18:53
Lap 8 18:35
