Try to get my long runs done in summer by about 9am. Which means getting up at about 5:30am on a sunday when training for a marathon.
That said, it's not so bad in canberra as there isn't much humidity. Winter not so much fun though.
I don't know if it counts as "running", I've been training my arse off for the past few months, getting ready to walk The Overland Track in Tasmania later this year.
About 8km each day, with 14-15km walks most weekends (both days) all while carrying a backpack with 10-15kgs in it.
And I use the Strava iphone app to keep track of it. Works a treat (and its free)
21:54 at parkrun this morning. Happy with it as I felt like crap. And it was 25 seconds faster than my previous best.
Ran a PB 5km time on the weekend. 23:59. Very happy
strava is awesome, one of the great apps

Anyone do the Fernleigh 15 last year and got any tips for pacing it?
Anyone else doing the strava 100km Prove it challenge ?

Though technically, I'm hiking with a backpack (yes again)
I'm not doing it, but i'm already up to 105km since 1/1/14.
marathon training. have now reached the 'oh god why am i doing this????" distance. seems to happen between 25 and 29km on the long runs.
Canberra marathon in April.
just under 3 months to go now.
piked on my 18km run this morning as I wasn't feeling great, will consider going this afternoon (although it is going to be 37 down here today)
