I'm managing 50-60kms a week now leading up to Yurrebilla with a mix of road (2) and trail (2) runs. Looks like everything is coming to plan for City Bay and Yurrebilla (touch wood!)


And a bit embarrassing walking along the main road near the zoo.
Stuffed up my tapering esp length of longer runs on the two previous weekends, and also went too hard from about 10-25km, not pateient and running against people rather than worrying about my own running.

What sort of length long runs are you doing for Yurrebilla?

Haven't been paying much attention to the City-Bay, has there been any cross-promotion with the SANFL GF?


Haven't heard of any cross promotion between City-Bay/SANFL. Don't care much for the GF now after South got beat in the prelim. I'll just enjoy the festivities at the Bay after my run now.

But again a perfect opportunity to promote for the SANFL to promote itself to, and as part of, the community (even to traditionally non-footy fans) and what have they done?

Yeah tapering can be critical.

During the weekdays i've been doing 10km road runs twice a week and a 10km trail (only about 250-500mm elevation gain). On the weekend there has been a mixture of 20-30km trail runs, some with 1,000m elev gain, others with only 5-600m elev gain. I have stopped the heavy load now tapering for City Bay and Yurrebilla. Hopefully got it right!

What sort of times did posters do in the City to Bay yesterday? I ran 1hr 8 mins. I was happy with that considering I only done a week of running for it. 5min 41secs was my avg a km. We didn't start until 8.35 which was after the winner had already finished :shock:

Managed a PB this year in 52:42 (4:21/km). Really happy with that result considering going in I was not expecting a PB.

I was thinking of doing the McLaren Vale half marathon 2 weeks after Yurrebilla. After seeing the forecast for 28° this Sunday for YUM, I think I will cancel that...might need the 2 weeks off to recover.

Finished my first City to Bay in 1:22:54 yesterday. I am very stoked with that considering my weight and fitness abilities 2 years ago. Goals for next year will be a half marathon and to complete the city to bay in sub 60...
I may even have a go at the Bay to City in April.

Bay City is going to be an interesting run...I wonder how many people will treat it like City Bay and fly off the start. It will be tricky run considering the heat and "uphill" factor. I think most should conservatively add a couple minutes to their City Bay times.

Too true. It is still the 12kms, but a completely different run. I will add another hour to mine haha.

So do they plan on doing the Bay - City in April and keep the City - Bay in September?

Well done to all who completed the City-Bay, and especially those who were happy with their times.
If your looking for a half-marathon to do over summer, I'd recommend the Cadbury's one in Hobart in mid-Jan. Train here in warmer weather but milder for the event, start and finish at the chocolate factory, take a week of holidays afterwards. Fantastic.

might be a bit too far to go for a half...I am looking forward to reducing the training load over summer especially after Yurrebill Ultra on the weekend. Forecast is for 28°C and 30km/h northernly....fricking perfect

Ouch. That first long run on a properly warm spring day is a killer. What time of the day MW?

There is a staggered start. I am off in the 8:00am group but do not expect to be at the finish line before 3:30pm so coping the full brunt of it...hopefully the cool change comes quickly or they have stuffed up the forecast. :shock:

There is a start time for 6:00am but that is for people expecting to finish in 11.5 hours plus...and once you have registered then you have to go in the group you are registered in.

I would not be surprised if they change that rule before the day if the temp forecast holds until friday

For those wanting to find a training schedule for any distance check out My Asics site

Select the distance you want to run and if its for an event, the date of it and a distance and time of what you can currently run. Enter a few other details such as how many sessions per week and the intensity and the site makes up the schedule to meet your needs

There is an app for it too.

I scheduled my plan last night to run my first full marathon in May next year.

149 runs covering 1444km over the next 37 weeks
