AIS Short Intervals @ 5000m pace

Lots of distractions for the session including some sort of track camp, must have been 100 younger athletes out there from interstate. They largely left the inside lane free as the groups warmed up which was good for me as I was having a 'flat' day from all those kilometres in the legs. 1200m (3:45), 800m (2:30), 800m (2:30) with 200m walk recovery. I found I had to relax more to get the speed out as there wasn't much force going into track from my weary legs...still another set done and no races in sight for another month.

Looks like next week will be our first taste of almost winter and it has been a long time coming. The weather has been great and will make the most of it on the weekend.

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.
