5:50 PM 06 November 2008 @ The ULTRA Oval Track

After some exchange of SMS with MarkFB, I was “primed” for another 50 laps at the ULTRA Oval Track as my running workout for the day. I sent a SMS to Bugobugo85 after receiving an e-mail message from him telling him about our plan for a 50-lap run at the oval that afternoon. Bugobugo85 had to decline because he had his morning run already.

I arrived at the Oval Track at 5:45 PM and I could see Mark doing his run already. I just did a brief stretching and immediately joined him for the workout. We finished our first 25 laps, covering a distance of 10.33 kms, in 57:22 minutes with an average pace of 5:33 minutes/km. My HR ranged from an average of 138 bpm to a Maximum Rate of 151 bpm.

I had to stop for my “water break” and for my recovery walk after my first 25 laps while Mark continued his running. After my brief break, I re-joined Mark and did my second set of 25 laps with a slower pace. I finished my 2nd 25-lap run in 58:51 minutes with a distance of 10.26 kilometers. My average pace was 5:44 mins/km and HR range of 138 bpm to 145 bpm as my Maximum HR.

I finished 20.59 kms for this particular easy long run at the oval track with an aggregate time of 1:56:23 hours.
