I discovered that the nice stretch in Canterbury area makes quite a good tempo run. It's not all flat - there are 2 short rolls - but it's almost traffic-free. Great for going non-stop at a consistent pace, with good air. Each round is slightly below 4km, which is a just-nice distance for tempos. The only problem is that it gets dark and there's a stretch that's very difficult to see in night vision. But if one can start early, say before 630pm, it's a good training. :)
I had a good tempo run tonight, thanks to the wonderfully cool weather. We ran into Canterbury and attempted 3 rounds. First round including the lead-in from Safra: 34:09min. I managed 17:58min exactly (!) for the subsequent 2 rounds, with a 2min rest in between each set. Then we did a slow trot back to Safra. Ahh, felt good.
