Capalaba Run Reflections
Route
I chose Capalaba’s mix of road and light bushland for this run.
Streets: flat and forgiving.
Trail: a sudden dip into a small bushland stretch that gives a gentle change of pace, keeping things interesting.
Distance & Pace
3.5 km in 27:23 – a steady, manageable chunk of time (~27 min).
Target pace: 7:49 min/km.
Most of the run stayed within that window, even though I slowed slightly on the trail portion.
