Tuesday Session : Fat Week

Helen, Kathy and Maria on Tuesday. An 800m specific session of 4 x 100m, 4 x 200m as a warm up followed by a 600m time trial paced by me at 2:48 pace. Maria 2:50 pace, Helen 2:52 pace, Kathy 3:00 pace.

Of me: Aside from the 600m tt I paced did nothing on the track. Yesterday and today only 40 minutes, the weight up to 57.5kg. The foot slowly getting better but no hope of speed work in the next week. Back to basics for me. Will keep listening to my body and adjust the volume accordingly. Will go back into base building mode with the aim only to race at Nationals, possibly the ACTVAC 5000m championships 10 days before that. Not entering the 1500m, just 10000m, 5000m, XC. I have already entered the Stromlo 7.5km XC in 10 days time...looking unlikely to start.

This week didn't start well with some lap timing marshals giving me an extra 3-4 laps to complete with no fault of my own before I could start to get back on terms in the 10000m event. As things panned out I suffered like most others in the heat and chasing back on was impossible for me once the hamstring muscles started saying No!! The 1000m result wasn't so bad, finishing 3rd behind the front running three in just over 42 minutes. I have just been going through the motions since the 1000m, cheering on as best I can from the sidelines. When I get back home in coming days I will have a short break and start again ant build up into running from again as soon as the hamstrings can repair themselves. Today was mostly walking on the lush course as Stromlo xc circuits. If by chance I can do a little more than that I will try. Otherwise I look forward to making the long trip home.
